” I live in this slice of time, therefore, it is this time I am most capable of painting about.”~Bash ’82
Bash and I have been friends since the 60s – we met working together at Aaron Bros. Art Mart in Tarzana, California.
Kent is one of the most amazingly prolific painters I have ever known.

Those unfamiliar with the Native American petroglyph “Kokopelli” may not get that my rendition above, titled ‘Kakapeepee’ is a satirical take-off on that figure of Native American folklore.
When I grew older, like around 12 years old (grin), Halloween became my favorite holiday, surpassing even Christmas.
It still is as a memory. Those spooky trick-or-treat outings! And later the Artists and Models Ball in Hollywood!
