FLYING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER by Angelo Lopez.  24" x 48".  Acrylic on Canvas.

I've always been a big fan of puns and corny humor.  When I was a child, I would spend hours in the television set watching Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, and the great comedies of the 1930s and 1940s.  

This had a big influence on the paintings I like to create.  I just thought up this idea when I was looking at the sky at some birds flying south for the winter and wondering if there were rebates on Southwest.
