DESCRIPTION

This very colourful and whimsical Mexican cowgirl ~ in a sombrero ~ feeding her pony a handful of hay ~ has a truly sweet aura, one that will surely create a special atmosphere of the Southwest in any casa in which it may be placed. And what a charming touch "One Spirit" will add to the decor of any home! Or office workplace!

The colours in this piece are really beautiful! Shades of turquoise, blue, green, and red.

ABOUT THIS PAINTING

This Southwest ~ Mexican folk art painting is an ORIGINAL work of art, brightly painted with acrylics on a piece of thin TIN, which makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor decorating such as a backporch or patio area. Also, this piece, which is 6 3/4" x 6", has been finished with a non-yellowing acrylic enamel to protect and enhance its beauty for years to come. There are already two holes punched in the top and it comes with a gold-colored wire hanger so that it can be immediately displayed once you receive it! The back of this painting is signed by the artist and dated (2009).

This RoMy Original Tiny Tin (TM) is small but sweet ~ simply "feel good" art! This is a very collectible piece of art that will look great alone ~ or in a collection of other "tiny tins" on your wall! Or hook this piece over the knob on a cupboard door ~ or remove the hanger and place in a windowsill, on a bookshelf, a fireplace mantle....also what a great gift idea!!

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 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. (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
