Family Portrait?

Kim send me a picture of this oil painting requesting some information.  The best I can do is confirm that it is an early sixties painting by Tony. The lady in it could be Anne. The male figure is not a self portrait, but a more Mexican type. This could mean the painting could be from the period he lived between Tijuana and Los Angeles. He must have been in a romantic mood when painting it.  Thanks for sharing

Animals

I received a comment on the post of December 28, 2008: The Animals. I had written it was from de DL collection. It is part of the pictures a dear friend, living in Los Angeles took over the years of Tony's work. That is what it means.
