Title: "La Monja Colorida" (The Colourful Nun)
Size: 40"x32" ~ AWESOME SIZE CANVAS PAINTING!!!
Hola! Muchas 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:
DESCRIPTION
"La Monja Colorida" (The Colourful Nun) is a most unique painting! There are many nuns here at this mission in Old Mexico ~ but only the one whimsical little nun "Lydia" ~ dares to express herself with bold, beautiful colours from the bountiful palette of her Higher Power ~ The One Great Original Artist of All.
Lydia is dressed in lovely shades of purple and red, and tiny flowers are embroidered around her neck and hemline. In her hands is a small Talavera cross. And be sure and notice the little red shoes on her feet! Next to Lydia is Rafael ~ her pet burro. And all around the mission there are always lots of black crows! The mission is topped with a black cross and in the background is a vibrant yellow sun tinged with gold. This mission is a wonderful blend of colours and the desert landscape is dotted with agave and ocotillo.
This is a VERY LARGE work of art that will spendidly decorate any wall on which it is placed ~ whether it is in your casa or place of work. This special piece is a great opportunity for the right buyer to add to his or her collection of Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art! And what a perfect time to start a collection (if you haven't already) as Mexican Folk Art is quite popular now ~ and increasing in value with time.
Please Note: Computer monitors differ and colours may vary somewhat.

Also, this piece has been finished with several coats of non-yellowing acrylic varnish to protect and enhance its beauty for years to come.
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)
