Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Tiny Tin (TM)

Title: "Tree of Life"

Size: 6" x 5" (painted on thin tin ~ hole already punched ~ ready to hang!)

Hola! Muchos Gracias for stopping by my Terlingua Art Studio near Big Bend National Park (in Texas) & Old Mexico! For your consideration today I am offering this original painting:

DESCRIPTION

This very colourful and whimsical painting of a Mexican Tree of Life has a peaceful aura that will surely create a special atmosphere of tranquillity in any casa in which it may be placed. A charming collectible piece of Mexican Folk Art that will add an extra special touch to the decor of any casa (home)! Or office workplace! The Mexican Tree of Life is one of my favourite pieces of artwork as it is a reminder that we are rooted in, grounded in, and connected to the Source from which we all came ~ Love!

The colours in this piece are truly stunning! All the flowers and dove are painted in lovely shades of pink, purple, red, blue, turquoise, green and just a touch of gold!

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 & very folk artsy (tin is a really popular medium to paint on in Old Mexico) plus its durability makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor decorating such as a backporch or patio area. Also, this piece, which is 6" x 5", 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 is small but sweet ~ simply "feel good" art! These highly collectible pieces of folk art look great displayed alone ~ or grouped in a special area on your wall!

And what a fabulous 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
