Thats it, its over

Wow what a great couple of weeks it has been. I know you all are probably asking yourselves where the hell is DLT? Well now! I just don't know where to start but let me tell thinks are well over here and there only going to get better.

It was sad to see the set I created for "Dreamlandia" go to the wrecking ball but thats life and it was great to see such a fabulous production become reality for all those people that took there time to see the production I thank you.

Well thats all I have time for right now I am going to my very own "Dreamlandia"

So enjoy this awesome pic. Oh I just wanted to add that it is always nice to applauded in print
by the major theater critic in Chicago - thats all.

Okay here's a new BLOG for you

Well I'm back from a great day out in the field and ready for some more. I don't know what that means but rest assured I'll get to the bottom of it.

Opening night at the R.E.A.C. first annual Latin American Art Fair went very well there was some very interesting people and a few of my pieces sold which is always a good thing! And my project with J.T.O. started today and the piece is started well but the traffic back needs to get better (so all you people out there on the 355 get with it).

Well thats it for right now except I would like to say to all those people out in Sunnyvale CA - stay thirsty...Stay Thirsty

New Challenges

Now its on to organizing the May 10 open house and Bridgeport Art Walk which means new challenges for me.

The good news is that I have a great concept for the October Opening. I am challenging those people who say that art is not affordable - I am calling it 150 for 150 thats right I will produce 150 paintings watercolors, oils and mixed media then sell them for $150 dollars each.

So Lets see I have two Murals for Columbia Explorer School a great project for JTO out in Barrington a couple of portraits and 150 painting to get done within a six month period, definitely a fun next couple of months!

In the mean time here is another pic for those of you who asked about pics.

And don't forget to stop in to the Ogilivie/Pertl Gallery next week for the first annual Latin American Art Fair which will be happening at the River East Art Center on Illinois Street. I will be participating with the OP Gallery a very fine Gallery.

Where's your Dreamlandia Now

Well Dreamlandia has landed and lots to tell but little time to write.

For me this work is very relevant and makes the audience
aware of the situation as it is, all though this is a very uncomfortable
thing for a lot of people I do feel it is a start to a dialogue.

The production its self is sharp and very visually enticing (speaking as
the set designer and artist). I think you all have to experience it and come
to your own conclusion then we can take a poll.

Pics to come later tonight(or tomorrow).

My Very Own Niagara Falls

Well here I am blogging for all to read and let me tell you its been quite a great couple of weeks. Let me start with the "DeLaTorre Winter Water Falls".

It was a Wednesday one of the coldest days of the year and I took the day to paint on my mural and other things in the studio, well as I was conversing with my neighbor we both hear water running and start (at a fast pace) making our way to my studio and sure enough there it was, my very own Niagara Falls right on my table with all king of works in progress- as well finished pieces. As I struggled up current to try and save what I could, my neighbor helping as much as she could I had this sudden feeling that I was the luckiest S.O.B. alive if I wasn't in my studio that day all these works and probably much more would have been destroyed as it was there were many casualties but very few fatalities. So there it is I needed some space for it to process but all is well and I am continuing to create.

And for the next episode more adventures with two tonne tow trucks in snowed in alleys. For now please enjoyed a portrait of one my favorite creatures on the planet.

Well I'm not sure if this blogging machine wants me to Blog today, nothing but technical difficulty but here I am. I am trying my best not to throw this limestone brick that I just happen to have in my hand right through the TV.... bush's last state of the nation address do I need to say more? Good Night!
