24 x 18 Oil on Canvas
Tilting Windmills is a l'hommage to Man of La Mancha. Centrally featured is Don Quixote wearing a barber's bowl, "the Golden Helmet of Mandrino." The Sancho character is a light-hearted salute to the famous photo of Picasso. The Madonna-like form suggests Dulcinea rather Aldanza. Included is the "noble" steed, Rosinante. As you get to know Peter, you will find that he is no stranger to tilting windmills, himself.

Biography
Peter A. Lang
I am a sight impaired artist from Phoenix, Arizona working in oils.
I painted actively as a child, teen and young adult becoming primarily an abstract expressionist working in oil. In the late 1990s, my sight deteriorated; I began having difficulty focusing, distinguishing or blending color, and moving from the palette to canvas. My eyesight became my enemy and angrily I retired my brushes.
By 2009, I realized the foolishness of leaving paint. The long hiatus made me less confident and my eyesight was even worse--like I had lost 30 years. I began with decorative pieces, pride aside, to find my brushstrokes and method.
Painting is a slow process for me now. But, it is again my great consolation, my mistress and my vision.
