Pucheros y Huevos Rancheros is another painting who name was determined with the help of my poetry collaborator, Anthony the Poet of San Antonio. In this piece, the girl crosses her arms and pouts over her breakfast plate with the most delicious eggs this artist has ever had. Trying to imagine what she might be pouting about, I recalled the never ending debate that has been raging for decades in the breakfast taco capital of the world. That being, red or green salsa? The battle is heralded by the salt and pepper shaker and she just wants to stay out of the politics and eat her breakfast. Wanting some spicy zip added to her breakfast without having to choose a side. After all, sometimes red is good, other times green sounds better. Funny enough there is a simlar dish that comes with both red and green salsa on the eggs…it’s called huevos divorciados. I probably should make a painting of that too.

Having descended down into South Texas through the Hill Country one day long ago, Dick never claimed to be Texan, but his German heritage and love for tacos is something he shares with the inhabitants of the region. Having earned an MFA from Miami University, OH, he spent the worst years of his life up north, maturing artistically and refining an Iconoclasmatic Pop Art™ style shaped by his experiences as a recovering Catholic, cancer survivor and optimistic existentialist. He lives and works in his humble turquoise studio-home (Dick’s WurstHaus Art Shanty) near downtown San Antonio.
