The last time I came here was 2007 and Real Estate crisis started to make a huge impact on my sales. Needless to say that today. August 2012. I am a voluntarily inactive agent Could be now , a time to regret or complain for my situation, because has been hard to survive with this crooked economy. However, I do painting and drawing by now. I am an artista..means artist. It's not just a title, it's an individual way of looking to life with passion, devotion and detail. It's to comprehend the drama, the beauty, the joy of human faces..because, I'm good at that. I learn from the best art teachers in my country: Colombia, with a post-graduate internship in etching at Atelier 17 in Paris, France. Learning and enduring was my advocacy to be a great artist. However, my plans are not my plans. I learn that from the word of God. But here I am. At almost 69 years old, brushing canvases and mixing colors again...to me, the last frontier. The one that give me earthly hope and why not, a way of providing for my family. As a matter of fact, I have a website where I display my art work. www.zhibit.org/juanmsalcedo
