Early Anthony Quinn Watercolor Done In The Washington D.C. : Crystal City Apt. / Lorcom Lane Apt. Back in 1980 Many Moons Ago!


I loved this period of mine back in 1980 and the early 1980's upon my return to the United States from having lived off-and-on in Paris, France in the 1970's around attending Lawrenceville Prep School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey and then later at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. It was all a melting pot of creativity for me and one in which I became a bit more aware of myself and what I wanted to do with my life.

Being an artist that would always stick and I would always approach things with my artist's eyes and sensibilities. This continues with me even now in November, 2011 on Thanksgiving day. Enjoy yours.

Here is one of my early watercolors that I did. I like the energy and the rawness of it. It's graphic and unapologetic and a bit sly and I hope that you like it. I did it in my twenties and I am sure I had a twinkle in my eyes while I painted it and a boner in my pants. There was probably some good music playing, too on my Bang and Olofsen turntable with my old records like perhaps the old double White Album of the Beatles' or a Doors' album? That's okay. Hope I don't offend anyone. Cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
