Size: Approx. 7" x 6" (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 is a day of fiesta in Old Mexico ~ a time of celebration ~ Cinco de Mayo! And everyone is headed to the courtyard of this little village where the festivities will take place! The pretty senorita Lydia ~ wearing her best dress and a tiny cross necklace ~ is with the handsome hombre Antonio ~ and they are stopping to listen to the beautiful music of the mariachi ~ the two little girls Maria and Tia have stopped to discuss something in great detail ~ Rudolpho is coming to this special occasion alone but hoping to meet a lovely senorita who will save him a dance ~ and following them are many others of every age ~ what a wonderful day this promises to be!
The children will all play pinata ~ the women will shop ~ the men will swap stories ~ and everyone will sample food from each vendor's table! Then there will be much dancing and romancing! ~~ But the hours will past all too quickly and before any one is ready the clock will strike midnight and the day of Cinco de Mayo will be over ~ until next year!
This whimsical little painting titled "Dia de Fiesta ~ Cinco de Mayo" is a highly collectible piece of Mexican Folk Art for all you collectors! It will add an extra special touch to the decor of any casa! Or office workplace!
This is a sweet little painting with lots of Old Mexico FiEsTa colours ~ turquoise, blue, green, purple, red, burnt orange, pink, coral, yellow and gold! Enough colours to match the colour scheme of any casa! Also this would look nice in a Mexican restaurant, too!

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 approx. 7" x 6", 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! Or attach a magnet to the back (no glue needed) and this tin will stick to your refrigerator, file cabinet ~ or anything metal! Plus because of its durability it would make great outdoor decor! 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

DESCRIPTION
Another gorgeous night in Old Mexico ~ the time of evening when the pretty senorita Lydia and her little gato Lego enjoy a leisurely walk along the trail to the top of the Mesa Grande ~ the last chore of the day is done ~ the desert air is now cool and pleasant ~ and there is no place these these two would rather be! What joy it is to look up at the abundance of stars ~ to search for the different constellations ~ and to pinpoint the Little Dipper in the sky! How good is life to provide such blessings!
A sliver of a moon, many ocotillo and verbena, and the tiny casita where Lydia and Lego live at the foot of the mesa put the finishing touches on this charming piece ~~~ (and can you find the Little Dipper in this painting?)
This whimsical "Luz de las Estrellas" (Light of the Stars) is a highly collectible piece of Mexican Folk Art for all you collectors! It will add an extra special touch to the decor of any casa! Or office workplace!
