Cecil is always veiwing life with the critical eye of an artist. With the stroke of his brush the world in it's moment is defined . . . the discussion just begins after the painting speaks . . . ask art . . .

this page will soon reveal a glimpse of an artist Cecil Kaime Gaspar a dear dear friend of mine . . . . . .<> a contributor to the original Rancho Bozo and soon a contributor to RanchoBozo.com . . . Cecil understands the mechanics and structure of his surroundings and plays with this through his brush . . .

The journey of an artist is unique and to it's own Cecil Gaspar's creativity was always bursting forth be it designing a geared electric bike or creating a delicious meal . . . or designing a sport coat or a rustic set of stairs . . . Cecil was always involved with one creative project after another . . . I vaugely recall a blue '66 Corvair with a five hundred horse power V8 riding where the back seat was suppose to be . . . a real work of art . . .

OK, I'll get on it. How about the one in Spanish I just did for an article here? I'll whip up some more if you like. Don't worry about the language; its not difficult. How's things in Mill Valley? Did the rains finally let up? The weather here is beautiful. Did you get a post card from us? I'll keep working on this.

Love, C
