Cactus Garden~Southwest~Mexican FoLk ArT~RoMy~Paintings

Hola! Hope you had a wonderful day! It was great here in my little corner of the world ~ the rain we had the last couple days cooled temps off and it was only about 95 today. Perfect! We have lots of rain potential all week, too. That'd sure be great for we have been soooooo very dry. The river rafters will be running the Rio Grande no doubt! After a really big rain I love to listen to the river roaring through Santa Elena Canyon....so awesome all that energy & power!

Nothing to show you on my new Don Quixote work as yet....but here's one of my cactus pieces....

And in closing, here's the Artist Quote for the day: To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to hell. -- Igor Stravinsky

Night all! RoMy

ABOUT THE ARTIST
The front of this painting is signed by the artist and the back is also signed, dated (2009) and titled. By the way the artist "Romy" - that's me! I live on the border between Texas and Old 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)
