Hola! Muchos Gracias for stopping by my Terlingua Art Studio near Terlingua Ghost Town & Big Bend National Park (Texas) along the border of Old Mexico! For your consideration today I am offering this painting with NO RESERVE:
DESCRIPTION
A whimsical little painting of a pretty senorita in Old Mexico ~ standing at the fruit vendor's truck ~ she only wishes to make a purchase from this hombre but he is very interested in getting to know her much better! His two wee ones are up front playing behind the wheel ~ a noisy rooster is on the hood ~ chickens are under the palm tree ~ and this senorita is begging, "Just the bananas, please!"
This is a vibrant painting! Beautiful colours in this artwork ~ gold, yellow, turquoise, blue, green, red, purple, coral and burnt orange. Enough FiEsTa colours to go with any color scheme in your casa!
This is a great piece of Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art for decorating your home ~ office work place ~ or Mexican Restaurant! If you haven't yet started a collection of Mexican Folk Art what a perfect time to start ~ the investment you make in folk art today will surely increase in value with time!
ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This Mexican folk art painting is an ORIGINAL work of art, brightly painted with acrylics on a piece of thin TIN which makes it especially charming & folk artsy (tin is a most popular "canvas" to paint on in Old Mexico) Also, this piece, which is 8" x 6 1/2", has been finished with several coats of non-yellowing acrylic enamel to protect and enhance its beauty for many years to come. This tin has a tiny hole punched in the top so that it is ready to hang & be enjoyed as soon as you unwrap it! The back of this painting is signed by the artist, titled and dated (2009).
This tin is nice displayed by itself ~ or in a collection! (just as they decorate their casa in Old Mexico ~ tins all over the walls!)
Also these make a wonderful gift!! Buy early for Christmas!!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The artist ~ RoMy ~ that's me! I live on the border between Texas and 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, 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. (in the photos Mexico is on the left side of the river and Texas is on the right)
I enjoyed the visit ~ Gracias! And, please, while you are here take a moment to
