VISIT TO SAL BROWNFIELD STUDIO


Last Sunday we were invited by my friend Maria to get her amazing 'Sunday's Arepas', a Venezuelan dish that she cooks every weekend for friends and family. There is one of her friends who never misses those Sunday's visit. His name is Sal Brownfield. It was by then when we personally talk about art for the first time. Yes, he is an incredible artist living in Georgia. After meeting at Maria's place, he invited as to visit his amazing studio during the week. My wife, my mom, Maria and Misa decided to stop by last Wednesday for a tour. That's when Sal and I became friends. Here is one of the pictures taken outside his Studio.
