A tribute to my fathEr

As many of you know my Father Edward Levitt was a Disney and Peanuts cartoonist.  He taught me art.  I have these two serious paintings he did.  They are on the right.  He did them in the sixties or early seventies.  They were still life studies.  He used a pallet knife and oils. He told me they were not finished.   I have chosen to do my own versions of these.  They are pastels on colored paper.  I was paying him homage in my own way by completing them.  I remember he often gave me advice.  One was to strive for museum quality.  The other was that all colors go with one another.  He never showed his serious work.  He said he didn’t want to compete with Artists that needed the money.  He made a good living from his cartooning profession.  He was my biggest fan.  He came to as many of my openings as his health permitted.
