Leo the Lionhearted…. There is a sticky sweetness to Leo that starts with his stories of his grandmother in Mexico and the art they shared. Painting traditional Mexican folk art in Mexico with your grandmother is a movie in itself. Add to it the love of people and art and you have a glimpse of Leo the artist. His paintings are folksy and childish using bright colors and quirky lines depicting the stories of his childhood. Abstract illustrations of men with big hats on little tricycles playing pirates and Indians. When Leo paints you really want to take a walk around the block and let the magic of Leo take place. Its as if little children come out and paint fantastical visions on the canvas, like going to Never Never Land and coming back with a painting of what you saw there! Top this off with a man who is so appreciative of the opportunity to call out the children of his soul and paint. Its a solemnly beautiful act of nature when Leo paints.
