Painting with "words by Poet Armando Taborda"

In 2022, a Friend, Artist, and Poet, Isabel Maria Mendes Ferreira, conceived this work (mixed technique on wood) with "words by Poet Armando Taborda", which surprised me, flattered me, and made me proud because, in this country of pride and mutual artistic and other envy, it's not common for an artist to recognize another with constructive open-mindedness, complicity, and friendship.

My words in the masterpiece, under order of appearance, top to bottom, are:

"music
harolf of
pain of
one more
day
slow
where
I fall asleep
in
startle"

by Armando TABORDA, 2024
