Hello world! I am Sam. My first post.
I am an artist, I am now 70 years old....71 in June...I am a gemini.
I live in Portugal in a small village, I have been here for 30 years.
I have a small permaculture farm with 37 goats and 35 chickens and 5 geese.
I am a wwoof host and generally have around 4 people here all the time to help me run the farm and to be my models for my paintings.
I have very little idea of what Steemit is or how it works, but I find the whole idea fascinating and would love it if someone could explain to me how it works.
I am painting about the Portuguese myth of "Sebastianism". I am renegotiating it.
I am no longer interested in modern or contemporary art...in fact I am pretty much disappointed by what I see in the official galleries as modern art.
I am only interested in making some beautiful and interesting, mysterious, enigmatic paintings....renegotiating the relationship between the artist and the people of western civilization who I believe have been deluded by neo-marxist theory.
I also have a soundcloud.COM account with some of my compositions under - RICARDOROCHA.TRIO and RICARDOROCHA.QUARTET
I also have an online gallery called WWW.SAMABERCROMBY.COM where my painting called SEQUENTIALISM hangs out.
I have a large exhibition coming up on the 9th of JUNE in the MUNICIPAL GALLERY in VILA NOVA DA BARQUINHA, Portugal.
you are all invited!
Welcome, Sam! The basics of Steemit are simple enough. Then there is a fairly steep cliff when it comes to understanding all the economics.
I'm following you. Look forward to seeing your work!
thanks for your feedback Sean, I am already a bit freaked out by the fact that already 4 people have answered or replied...wow...I am sure there will be new videos very soon...keep watching.![prisoner.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaVJtSkWiVFvTDfrY7J7YvWJAr7mGNp8b75Qed8tEy8Qm/prisoner.jpg)
this one painting that I just finished today.....
it is called...."one of the 9,000 prisoners after the battle of Alcaçer Quibir, in 1578, assailed by the shouts of "ALLAHU AKBAR" and thousands of african wasps
Welcome Sam This Your House
thanks for your welcome man....I already feel at home....can´t wait to put more vids and things....
this painting is called " Sebastian, king of Portugal, on 1st of November, 1577, visits his father´s grave on AllSaintsDay to ask advice...
Sebastian is assailed by african wasps, an invasive species, he calls to his father for help, João Manuel, the dead king emerges, calls on nature to assist and European bee-eaters come to the rescue.
