Several of you asked for it...

 and it is my great pleasure to respond by showing you...

for the first time on this blog...

or anywhere else for that matter...

Some of my wonderful husband, Alvin Spicuzza's paintings!

This one fascinates me... It is done with alcohol inks on Yupo paper. The figure is a result of Alvin using a permanent black fine point Sharpie to outline some of the naturally occurring shapes created by manipulating the ink flow while the painting was still wet. That's what makes this art form so much fun, you never know what might show up.
He named this painting "The Dark Crystal" after a movie we saw a long time ago in which the characters were actually puppets created by Jim Henson of Muppet fame.

As you can see, Alvin leans toward abstracts. This one is entitled "Artifact".

There is one more of his that I absolutely love, but you'll have to wait to see it unless you come to The Crescent City Brewhouse on Decatur Street in New Orleans. We are both participating in an art exhibition being held there during the month of September.
So, if you are in the French Quarter next month, stop in and check it out!
