Semi-autobiographical, written in my early 60s, of my struggles and drive for both my art, and love. Spans several decades, via flashbacks, as the artist, Arturo, spends the day by the seaside in Europe, awaiting his wife's return from the U.S. in time for a long awaited art opening reception of his art nearby. A progression of glimpses from young man, aging, and a young senior, still an artist, still in love.

Upbeat, with many glimpses into moment by moment reflections on works in progress. Written in 2012, was my first fiction since the early 80s. Have continued to paint, now with watercolors!

Sent to me as a comment on a sample posting of the first four chapters in "The Old American Artist, a Love Story" by Brian Miller, co-founder of the online site, dVersePoets :

"i like your thoughts too on the cinematic progressions...and short chapters...i think that keeps one engaged and feeling like they are making progress...."

About the Author

As the oldest of six, a father of three, and a grandfather of five, andmarried over thirty years, I believe, in writing stories and poems, I've found a perfect outlet for my years of living.

I can write about love, relationships, and not be restricted to only love stories between adults, or the kinship children develop with each other.

And maybe most importantly, the relationships between all the generations lucky enough to be within one family.

I feel myself fortunate, and am grateful, for the chance to portray a little slice of life I've know, in fiction and poetry.

All my best wishes for you and all those you hold dear,

Sincerely,

Felipe Adan Lerma
