Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Paintings
Title: "Catfish"
Size: Approx. 6 3/4" x 7 1/4" (painted on thin TIN)
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 original painting with NO RESERVE:
DESCRIPTION
It's another gorgeous day in Old Mexico ~ and the familia is down by the river for a picnic lunch ~ the pretty senorita Lydia and little Petra are in the shade of the palm tree where they have the picnic basket and plates and bowls spread on a blanket ~ and a fire already started to grill the fish Luis is catching in the river ~ Antonio is by his side to help ~ but oh no! ~ here is little gato Lego helping himself to a fabulous "catch" from Luis' basket of catfish ~ which kitty thinks is so much easier than catching his own!
"Catfish!" is a sweet little painting ~ with lots of tiny, intricate detail ~ and a pretty casita in the background ~~~ There are beautiful, vibrant colours in this piece ~ turquoise, blue, green, gold, burnt orange, pink, coral, red, and purple.

This is a great piece of Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art for decorating your casa ~ office work place ~ or even a 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 6 3/4" x 7 1/4", has been finished with several coats of non-yellowing acrylic enamel to protect and enhance its beauty for years to come. Ordinarily when I paint one of these "tins" I punch a hole in it so that it is ready to hang ~ however, this time I decided to leave the choice to you, the buyer, to decide how to display your new artwork! This tin can be displayed just as it is by placing it on a small easel, or propped against a fireplace mantle, a window sill, a bookshelf, etc. You could even attach a picture hanger hook on back ~ or with a hammer and a nail, just punch a small hole at the top ~ or perhaps two (one on each side). You could then mount it directly to the wall ~ or make a nice hanger for it with wire or raffia or ribbon! Lots of ideas for you to choose from. And of course you can always frame it! The front of this painting is signed by the artist, and the back is signed, titled and dated (2010).
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!!
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
View My Other Items For Sale
Presently, at eBay auction I have several paintings of various sizes from small to very large painted on tin, canvas, wood and ceramic tile. Lots of subjects: Saint Francis (San Francisco ~ patron of peace & animals), St. Therese, San Pascual Bailon (patron of cooks & most popularly known as the "kitchen saint"), Virgen de Guadalupe, Don Quixote, Tree of Life, Day of the Dead, Mexican Ex-voto Retablo, Mexico Village scenes, Market Day settings, Mariachi, Sacred Heart Milagros, Santos, Saints, Senorita portrait, figures, floral, abstract, animals, angels, cactus, desert landscape, mountains, seascape, cowgirls, cowboys, horses, burro, church, missions and many more!

In Old Mexico the morning is beautiful ~ and everyone in this village knows it is the day of the fruit vendor!

Little gato Lego can't resist crawling through the open window of the truck to see the chicken Sophia stubbornly sitting on her eggs which she refused to leave when Miguel left home before dawn! Manny the rooster is interested in Sophia, too ~ he thinks she's a very attractive chick! And on the tire fender is chicken Petra who is just a tad jealous perhaps of all the attention being shown Sophia! The pretty senorita Carmen thinks Miguel is such a handsome hombre! And every week she wears her prettiest dress before she goes to buy her bananas! From the look in Miguel's eye it appears he is a bit smitten as well!
Lots of tiny, intricate detail in this piece ~ several little casitas ~ one with a cross above the door ~ a hanging basket of flowers ~ a ladder ~ palm trees and a desert yucca add the finishing touches on this charming piece ~~
