The illustration are in acrylic, charcoal, and varnish on masonite board. Here is a favorite:
I can feel the texture of Dora Maar' s glove.
The day Surrealist photographer Dora Maar and Pablo Picasso met she was throwing a sharp knife between her fingers. That of course fascinated Picasso, but he was never in love with Dora. He tells her this in front of the love of his life, Marie-Thérèse Walter.

Carmen, you're right, the texture does look amazing!
I agree that David Diaz is an amazing illustrator. I've thought this since I saw his first book and I am so glad you are working with him again Carmen. Thanks for the preview of the new book. It looks like a masterpiece.
Wow, that is amazing. Years ago Christy and I spoke at the Charlotte Huck conference in REdlands, CA and David Diaz was one of the other presenters. Very cool guy and amazing talent.
Carmen, I cannot wait for your Picasso book! The poem you write is beautiful -- as is David Diaz's illustration. I am a great admirer of his work. And yours!
I, too, love David Diaz's work. His decorative style is so distinctive; I can recognize it immediately. And so prolific! And I agree with the others; this new book looks fantastic - poems and art.
