Pollo (2017) Painting by Joseph Cardinal

I am originally from New York City, grew up on south shore of Long Island. I've traveled the US extensively cross country 8 times, twice on a motorcycle. I am an untrained artist. My father was an artist also but not having the internet etc,. back then, he did the "starving artist" thing and it left a bad taste. I'm soon 64 y/o and had never seen him pick up a brush.

I'm motivated by my life's experiences of people, places and things. I am influenced by the content and color of Van Gogh among others who feel/felt the free spirit of color. Since 1997, I have sold 400+ paintings world wide.

I hope you enjoy my work.
