'Kocoa' (Original art by Curtis Kojo Morrow)

In 1965 (while living in Africa & thereafter) I found myself in a position where I was solely depending on the art of craftsmanship, craving cow-horns, ivory & etc) for my livelihood not only support myself but to provide employment for 2 to 3 other people; which I manage to do. Now whenever I am asked or consider the idea of exhibiting in art fairs & etc; the question become is it, or would it be for MONEY or ENTERTAINMENT for others? Sure, the creation of custom designed jewelry was always a WIN WIN, but that was 35 years ago… As for the visual art paintings, that’s another thing? It’s a labor of love. ;-) As is photography for my enjoyment only. Sadly there’s times when in need of something to paint on, semi-finish paintings are painted over, as have been practice by fellow artist for centuries.
 
But then on occasion they’re purchased.



'Kocoa' (Original art by Curtis Kojo Morrow): Due to special requests I have decided to include Portraitures of seniors,, attached is a few works either finish, or in progress. Would appreciate your opinions..
