Also available in prints if requested. This painting was worked on in one sitting for two hours. Loose brushwork was definitely employed to achieve the look. | |

 | Hi, Bing! I am glad you brought up the story of the Malaguena song. It was not exactly based on that...but could well be the meaning that this painting would convey. I broke my own cardinal rule of not showing unfinished painting because this one is such. I am not quite done with it yet but I like the rough and loose brushwork I did on this one, I couldn't resist capturing it on camera. There is a lot of mystery and intrigue to this painting that I am now torn between leaving it as is or refining it some more. I was going to put it in an art show this weekend but I guess the paint will not dry by that time I will submit it. I think I am going to put this out in a blog and have people look at it and comment how they feel about this painting. Seriously, the figure conveys a lot of meaning, I guess different to each beholder...best regards and God bless, too! Jun | -- JUN JAMOSMOS, 3/3/09

| Hi Jun, I'm intrigued by this painting. Mind you, I'm no art expert, but to my untrained eye it seems that the face is divided into 2 halves, a female (with the flower in her hair) and a male (to the right side, in shadow and thus with darker & more mysterious features). Does the title refer to the song Malagueña Salerosa? It's a sad song of a man's grief from being rejected by a beautiful woman, but understanding that poverty is the reason for her rejection. Am I right, or do you have a totally different message you want to portray in this lovely painting? Take care always & God bless, Livia | -- Livia, 3/2/09
