Valdez’s work is fascinating. Thank you for including the link to his gallery page, Hal.

I was not familiar with his work before my visit -- but did indeed find it compelling. Glad you're a fan, too. It's fascinating to see the evolution of his work, even over his first adult decades. Think what might come down the road? Wishing you well, Paul.

Thank you, Hal. I wish I could afford even one of his books on offer!

The second image certainly looks to be inspired by "Washington Crossing the Delaware," with Mickey M. standing in as George W.
