Walking the Blues Away

Eighty-seven-old lifetime artist, Dan Wetta, a career accountant who lived a different life through his work, continues to share his dreams and unique vision of the world in Walking the Blues Away. This is Volume 6 of his series, El Artista: A Lifetime of Curiosity, the next-to-last volume. Originally from New Orleans, the artist spent high school and community college years in St. Joseph's Seminary in rural Louisiana in the 1940s. He continued college education at night while married and raising a family in Richmond, Virginia. Over the years, the artist took art classes and private lessons and exhibited his work in many public showings, including exhibiting in The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. His works, in oil, acrylics, pen, pencil, crayon, watercolor, doodles and cartoons, encompass a vast variety of themes, laced with humor, satire, spirituality, and immense respect for life. Previous volumes have illustrated animal life, notably birds, and this edition highlights lions, tigers and cows, along with more memories from a long life rich with experience.
