Viva Cuba Libre, 2003 - acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30 in, 101.6 x 76.2 cm
Description: Castro was on the cover of “Cigar Aficionado.” I painted his head and torso really fast, and it stayed like that for nearly 2 years until Keely fell in love with it. Then later we traveled to Cuba, and one day she stood by this wall that was 25 feet long by 15 feet high. I have a photo of her standing by the letter “U.”
