I attempted some magical realism while depicting one of my daughter’s favorite authors. No doubt, this beloved Colombian belongs in the pantheon of Latin American writers.
John Steinbeck
Much of this author’s literary universe is set in the fertile lands around his hometown, Salinas, California. If he didn’t have the life experience which was shaped by this region, we would never have The Grapes of Wrath, or Of Mice and Men.
Signed prints of my John Steinbeck portrait are available here!
Zadie Smith
Here’s a portrait of noted author, Zadie Smith, who was born and raised in London. Her novel, White teeth, is my younger daughter’s favorite book.
Signed prints of this piece are available here!
Georges Sand
On a recent visit to my local recycling center, I came across a mysterious book, Esoteric Astrology, which was published in 1912. It was filled with strange diagrams, as well as astrological charts of notable people. Here’s a portrait of French novelist, Georges Sand, drawn on her birth chart. More to come soon!
