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.

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.

“I Have A Dream” – Portrait by Antonio Romero

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’”

– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Veteran’s Day

Thank You, Veterans!

Thank you to all those who have served this great nation of ours!

Those of you who have followed my work may already know that I have an ongoing tribute to veterans. I’ve painted portraits of several of our local veterans from the Korean War, Vietnam War and World War II (See portraits below). I planned on doing some more this year, to continue the series, but, the pandemic slowed things down in that regard. Nevertheless, I’d like to thank these veterans and all of the veterans of our military branches for their service and would like to say that I am personally grateful for the liberty their efforts have afforded us all as a people.

With gratitude,

Antonio Romero
