Happy Veterans Day!

To all my fellow veterans, I’d like to thank you for your service to our country. Have a Happy Veterans Day!

Here are a few portraits of veterans I’ve made over the years:

The Land Yields Its Harvest

The Land Yields Its Harvest – by Antonio Romero

This piece was prompted by a challenge by River Ridge Association of Fine Arts (RRAFA).

The challenge consisted of making an drawing or painting that showed several items lined up in a row.

For inspiration, I based this vector drawing on a recent trip my wife and I made to New Hampshire to visit our daughter and her growing family. During the visit, we went for an outing to a local pumpkin patch where we saw quite an assortment of pumpkins.

The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.

Frankenstein’s Monster

This my latest effort in painting Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s Monster from the 1931 film. s one is different from the rest in that I used the Procreate app to paint the portrait (all the previous ones were painted with Adobe apps).

Hispanic Heritage Gallery

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (15 Sept. – 15 Oct. ) I’ve added a photo gallery of my artwork pieces that reflect Hispanic Heritage.

Black History Month

These are some of the portraits I’ve painted of prominent figures of African-American heritage for Black History Month.

The Flounder

This drawing is based on a book cover illustration that I saw many years ago (from the 1970s by author Gunter Grass). It took me about forty years to get around to drawing it, but here it is.
