DESCRIPTION
"La Mision" (The Mission) is a beautiful blending of desert colour ~ gorgeous mountains (in shades of gold, purple and turquoise), a tiny mission far off in the distance and a pretty, red-haired senorita, drapped in a shawl and a mysterious air ~ headed out on a mission of her own....
This is a large-size piece of art ~ one that is sure to add an aura of the Southwest and Old Mexico to anyone's home ~ or office at work. This great painting is a fabulous opportunity for the right buyer to add to his or her collection of Mexican Folk Art! And what a perfect time to start a collection (if you haven't already) as Mexican Folk Art is quite popular now ~ and increasing in value with time.


ABOUT THIS PIECE
This Mexican Folk Art painting is an ORIGINAL work of art, brightly painted with acrylics on gallery-wrapped, professionally stretched canvas measuring 20" x 16". This premier frame has sturdy, precisely tailored corners and the canvas is tight with clean, staple-free edges ~ this piece can be displayed framed or frameless. There is a hanger on the back - when you receive this artwork all you need to do is place it in your special area! Also, this piece has been finished with a non-yellowing acrylic varnish to protect and enhance its beauty for years to come.


ABOUT THE ARTIST
The front of this painting is signed by the artist and the back is also signed, dated (2009) and titled. By the way the artist "Romy" - that's me! I live on the border between Texas and Old Mexico ~ near the Big Bend National Park ~ a few miles from Terlingua Ghost Town ~ and I love the history and culture of this area ~ a raw, still quite primitive land ~ a desert land where "rainbows wait for rain." The last few photos in this description show my outdoor studio which faces Santa Elena Canyon and the Rio Grande River, the natural border between Old Mexico and Texas ~ and it is from this primitive setting ~ 80 miles from town ~ that I find most of my inspiration for painting.
