Ratamacue (The Drummer)
Oilstick on canvas
2003
30" x 24"
Not signed
Since about 2000, Reggie began to explore the subject of blues and jazz musicians. He was inspired both by listening to live jazz performed at the Albuquerque Museum and by the stories of the various musicians and singers he depicted. Ratamacue and The HAWK, below, are part of a series of oil pastels in which the movement of the performer is echoed in the abstract rendering of the background. Ratamacue refers to the sound a drummer creates during a particular drum sequence.

My Brother Arnold

This painting hung in the Gammon home for decades and has never been offered for sale before. Reggie painted a series of family portraits, nearly all of which sold very quickly. This is a truly unique painting, dating from a much earlier period than most that are still available today.
