Nostalgic Confections - oil on canvas - 32" x 40"
I like to think of this man as a fisherman who is remembering his life. He is made up of these memories; wife, baby, strong youth with dreams of riches, the fish all around him, the birds waiting to get the scraps, the strong clifs and hills of his treasured rugged coastline.

This is one of the most bizarre…and probably coolest things I’ve
ever seen here at RB. It almost messes with my head! VERY very neat.
Dave Martsolf replied
Hi Birgitta, So glad to have you like this piece. I am inspired to do more by your comment.

You are truly son of Dali!
Dave Martsolf replied
TG, you are too kind. But, I have often thought to bring his genius into a new world that is not especially filled with the grotesque or needlessly bloody and visceral. I’m heading off in that direction, if I could ever get my bloody corporate customers satisfied. They all want perfection.
BTW, my comments are not to take any bravado away from your recent two guns image. That one is great.. great in a very direct economic use of props way. It really works as a work of art, and I think that is all what we strive for, no matter what place in the universe we are visiting at the moment. Oops. Time to go home. Bye for now. Thanks for your comment. I’ll do my best. I want to be more than Johann Christian Bach.

Yes I agree in fact that is the first time I have used a blood effect in any work. Imagination is a much more powerful engine. Let people think! The best horror films are not fueled with non-stop monsters and mayhem but an indication of foul times ahead with huge levels of suspense. The audience works for their money.
You are probably like me. Between fame and fortune, I chose fame. I want to be remember for doing something.
Dave Martsolf
I am impressed with your level-headed understanding of all of this. But, actually I have always dreamed of having it all – happiness, fame, AND fortune. Got happiness now, finally. So, next comes the fame and fortune, but I’m not sure if that is achievable at this late point in the game. I’ve sold one $20 profit print of the Cathedral since arriving here. I know I need to get down to business with new material, but man there has got to be a way to make this work without selling out on everything. Just had a great evening watching some of Iain Stewart’s Earth-the Biogaphy (BBC) on DVD with my family. Great to see my 8-yr old daughter’s eyes light up with marvels of the interaction of chemistry and comic forces shown by a guy who really loves his work (Stewart). There has got to be a way to do dramatize art in this way for the wider body of man. Hmmm. Hey, thanks for your piercing commentary. Nice to read it instead of “Hey! Thanks Man!”
