About The Artwork

Pepe is another one of the cats that lives in the courtyard of my building. He’s a French cat, owned by the French couple that lives in my building. I don’t see a lot of him but one evening I looked out onto my balcony and he was sitting on the ledge behind a row of potted plants. Pepe was very afraid. He didn’t know how to get off the ledge without falling. I walked towards him to see if I could help but this frightened him. He grabbed onto the wire that was attached to the plants and pulled the entire row off my balcony. Pepe fell with the plants. They all landed with a bang on the ground—three stories below. I thought Pepe was dead but when I looked down he was just staring at the pile of broken pots as if he couldn’t understand why they hurt him. The bad news is that all my plants died. The good news is that Pepe lived. I still see him around the courtyard. He doesn’t seem to blame me because he always lets me pet him whenever I get the chance.

I had been a writer for my entire life until I discovered the miracle of painting in 2011. Two years later I had painted 1300 paintings. It was as if the hand of God had reached down and touched my heart and turned me into an artist. Once I started painting I couldn’t stop. I was obsessive and compulsive. I even painted in my sleep. Just when I thought I could not be a happier man, God gave me two more unexpected gifts: diabetic neuropathy and sciatica. The level of pain brought on by those two gifts was remarkable. I soon realized I only had enough strength to do two things--work to get better and paint. Every ounce of anger, isolation, pain, and fear of death became another painting. Even with a relentless, never-ending round of doctor appointments, tests, and treatments I still managed to paint every day. When I realized that nothing I tried medically could stop the pain I decided I should prepare to die. Every painting became My Last Painting. Then late one night when I was sitting in the midst of my paintings, I began to review my life. I discovered that every painting represented something I had been through and that all the pain had helped me become a better painter and a better man. I finally accepted the truth--God had given me three gifts--the gift of painting, the gift of pain, and the gift of life. The irony is that, safe within the arms of death, I had found acceptance and appreciation for every moment of my life. I also realized that in addition to Deano Art, what I have to offer is proof that you can never be too old, too young, too discouraged or defeated. It is never too late to find a hidden talent or a new dream. All you have to do is open up your heart, let inspiration be your guide and accept your brand new life.  In the end, after I have turned to dust, and I am nothing but a memory, this will be my legacy. Maybe if I’m lucky, on some dark night you will see a Deano painting hanging in your home and it will touch your heart and help you realize you are not alone.
