Once upon a time...

© 2006 Armando Salas. --- Just for sharing purposes. Once upon a time... an artist did a huge training in all imaginable ways of art. I painted this box in 1982. Gouache, laminated gold, bitumen and varnish. Nowadays, the box isn't in a good condition, but I think you still can apreciate its beauty. What do you think? :-)))

STILL VERY BEAUTIFUL, ARMANDO. WILL ALWAYS BE BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE A BOX COLLECTION AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO BOXES. WHY? PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL ART? NOT SURE, BUT I KNOW A BEAUTIFUL BOX WHEN I SEE ONE, AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A GEM.

When I saw this I thought it was Japanese box! Yes, this is beautiful painting, Armando. Very dedicated work!

Well, I too am a collector of boxes, and I must say Terry spoke well for me also! Lovely Armando! I certainly would display it with pride. :)

Oh, Armando! This is a lovely box! Many of us try all sorts of art, this is beautiful. The worn look shows that it has been touched and treasured often. That adds to the charm of it! I collect boxes myself, and occasional, decorate, by paint, or embellishments to keep or to give as gifts. I sold a few as well. I would have been drawn to this one in a shop and bought it. It is lovely, and not so overly done. Sometimes I want a simple, elegant design so not to take away from the box beauty. This is perfect, so stop knocking it. You are showing us so many facets of your art, and talents. Thank you!
