Rosmy at the Support Group

The Portrait

Rosmy the Cartoon

This is Rosmy. I created this character 30 years ago as a sort of therapy to cope with how much I missed my friends in Cuba in particular my best friend. I named her Rosmy as a way to keep her memory alive. I was thirteen years old when I created the original drawing. I will post it when I find it.

I got busy with life and forgot about her for about 15 years, then I decided to start drawing her cartoon again, so I showed it to my brother, who by then was very Americanized and he said, "You do realize she is not wearing a top"?. To which I said, "So".......then I thought for a moment and realized I was very much a 100% Cuban when I drew her for the first time. I remember that back in the island it was common to see little girls walking around at the beach with no top, though my mom doesn't remember that, I do.

Anyways I modified her and put some clothes on her after that. I also draw her mom and a boy version I named Fifi, after a boy a had a crush on, when I was in fifth grade, back in Cuba. I'll be posting these cartoons in the future, just for fun.

~Life Drawings~

I thought it would be fun to make a video of the drawing process. A few months ago I got into figure drawing and I just could not do anything else. This happens every year. I will get tired of a particular medium or subject and I will get into another, until I get tired of it too. Looking back now, I'm glad I made this videos, because right after I uploaded them to Blogger and to Youtube, my computer crashed and all my images were wiped out.

~Animal Portraits~

This video has a partial list of animal portraits. Putting them in video form makes it faster to watch, rather them having to click on each one.

~Basset Hound Paintings~

This are some of my Basset Hound Paintings using Watercolor medium. Can you tell I worship this breed of dog? I do, but I can't have one, because I have chickens and Bassets will go after them. If you would like to buy one of these, let me know.

Zurama's Paintings

This is video I made to show all the paintings I had done for the year. Most of them are inspired by my birth country-Cuba. The music is by Argentinian Pianist Raul Di Blasio. He is awesome!!! I always paint to his music, and it really helps me get inspired.
