CONTACT JESSICA FOR SIGNED PRINTS
This is a painting of my grandfather, John Salove, and his sister Lola. They are first generation born here in America to Basque parents. My grandfather remembers living in tents as they followed the sheep around, back then, there were no BLM lands. Your sheep grazed anywhere. He remembers this day vividly even though he was only four or five years old. He had gotten in a tremendous amount of trouble while waiting for the photographer to arrive. He decided he would throw a rock at a nice car driving down the ION. He threw it then ducked in the grass. Well, he hit the car, and the driver had seen him. So, the driver stopped and proceeded to ream him. Then his father reamed him. Perhaps this explains the "sisterly squeeze" he is getting on the back of the neck from Lola.
