Creativity runs strong in the Toromoreno blood.
What have your ancestors been drinking? I gotta get me some. 
(Hi, Henry! I’m back. I appreciate the message you’ve left on my blog several weeks ago; a reply has been posted in the same comment thread. Cheers.)
Henry, I don’t even know what to say. It’s BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t stop looking at it. I knew that you come from a talented, highly intelligent family. But, this is more than talent. This is LOVE & PRIDE for your family, your roots & your entire history. It is all over this painting & I appreciate you & your uncle for it.
I love this painting! The colors and style make it very alive; (it reminds me of the stuff done by Ralph Fasanella; he did paintings of Harlem from the 1950’s . . . he also did some paintings of the Bread and Roses strike in Lawrence, Ma.).
