Doc Severinsen and St. Francis

As far as I know, Doc Severinsen and St. Francis have very little in common. However, while attending the third anniversary of La Aurora, the big design and art center here, I saw Doc Severinsen walk by. (Remember him from the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson?) He has a home here and his wife has her own art gallery.

At another gallery I found, and bought, the picture you see above. It is supposed to be St. Francis of Assisi and the likeness is taken from the actor in one of my favorite movies, “Brother Sun, Sister Moon.” It is pencil on paper and it turns out that we had been introduced to the Mexican artist and his partner some time ago. I had no idea that he was so talented.
