Art by Paolo Guido circa 1989

Paolo was my half brother, my mother's first bastard son. I knew him as "Rudy".
These pictures were taken at my mother's house with a Sony Mavica digital camera, maximum resolution just under a mega pixel. Some of the drawings were incased in glass which made it difficult for my camera to not pick up glare.

My brother, forty-seven years old, died of AIDS with my mother at his side at a hospital in San Francisco, CA.
'Sorry to say, I know relatively little about his art work.

It seemed as if everything my brother did reflected his looks or my mother's. You might say this wooden bust that he carved was how would have liked to look

This piece of furniture is in my mom's house at the end a hall. You can see the picture above in the frame below.
A lot of my brother's female renderings are said to reflect my mother's image.

Since I didn't know what to call his pieces I call this one Penelope.
