Note:
Of the painting, Sánchez writes: “This painting has two major figures, myself and my first wife Ann Krajeck. I would say this painting is about songs of protection and strength during the 'rock & roll' years of early fame. My wife stood behind me in the years of reverse discrimination and temptation. I honour her in this painting.”
