GRATITUDE

Yes, I am GRATEFUL that Joseph Biden has replaced our current occupant of the White House in successful election to lead our country for the next four years…and I feel that Biden WILL PULL THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TOGETHER AS HE ACCOMPLISHES THAT GOAL.

Let’s count our blessings!

Humankind has equated ‘light’/the sun with warmth and love:“The Light of knowledge”, the ‘light of my life’, ‘the sun that nurtures the growth in the fields’, etc….so let’s think in terms of a bright and positive future with hope.

Through all the turmoil, we still strive to offer fine works of art for your enjoyment and living environment.

We will not offer you any piece of art that does not fit our criteria of ‘art that you’ll want to see every day!’ Experiencing a piece of art truly can uplift your attitude and increase your daily pleasure.

All good wishes for a healthy, happy New Year.

My gallery: Tobey C. Moss Gallery was opened in 1978 and evolved into a ‘window on the world’ of the 1930s – 2000s featuring the art and artists of southern California.

Many of those artists were introduced…reintroduced…and developed within the offerings of the TCM Gallery – through our website, our announcements, our brochures, our catalogues and our exhibitions.

But sometimes we simply presented a ‘ringer’…that is, an artist whose idiosyncratic view of art was so deliciously funny that we couldn’t not tickle YOUR sense of humor along with our own.

I’d love to learn about YOUR serendipitous discoveries that brought laughs, chuckles, snickers and pleasure!

All good wishes to Everyone

– to be well, be safe and to be future-oriented to virus-free holidays.

WE DO HAVE FUN ‘ROUND HERE!

Mike Romanoff professed to be a member of the deposed Romanov family when he opened his eponymous ‘tony’ restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. Hollywood ‘royalty’ dined there with him and his constant companion ‘Confucious’.

These paintings may have been displayed there – or they may simply be ZITO’s view of Romanoff, Confucious and Romanoff’s patrons!

But this is ‘pure Hollywood!’

ZITO Night and Day; Day and Night — Night and Day

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA!!!!

‘HOLLYWOOD’ – the Name, the Studios, the “scene”, actors, crimes, politics, earthquakes, fires…..those contributory roles to a fantasy world epitomized by movies, animation, inventions.
