Chicks on a Limb~Chickens~Tree~FoLk ArT~RoMy Painting

Hola ~ It's a great morning here in the Big Bend National Park area in Texas ~ a bit of cool in the air ~ a welcome relief! High temp today of around 101 ~ Fall is on its way! Our summers here are very hot with average temps around 110-115 but August is when the temp starts to go the other way ~ down the scale ~ and can actually be a cooler month here than in other parts of the country. The weather channel always talks about the heat in Phoenix ~ but forgets that Presidio, Texas holds the record for being the hottest spot in the U.S. I often wonder how the folks all those years ago before we had electricity & air conditioning ever survived the summer heat here ~ or anywhere for that matter! But I believe it's because they had nothing to compare it to ~ it's just the way it was....

I'm so glad you dropped by today & please before leaving take a moment to look at my latest painting titled "Chicks on a Limb"

Have a wonderful day & I hope to see you again soon! RoMy

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

DESCRIPTION

Evening is settling in and all these chicks are in their favourite roosting spots in this old cottonwood tree ~ ~ ~ except one last chick scurrying up the tree and disturbing all the rest!

A colourful piece ~ with lots of chickens ~ a sliver of a moon ~ and a scattering of stars. And the colours are gorgeous! Lovely shades of blue, turquoise, coral, red and gold ~ a combination which will complement the colour scheme of most any casa! This piece will make a wonderful addition to anyone's collection of folk art!



ABOUT THIS PAINTING

This Mexican folk art painting is an ORIGINAL work of art, brightly painted with acrylics on a professionally stretched, gallery wrapped canvas. This premier canvas is tightly wrapped & tucked around a very well-made, quality wooden frame with no side staples ~ and all four sides have been painted so that it is ready for you to immediately display & enjoy just as quickly as you receive it (no additional framing is necessary) ~ and a hanger is already attached! Also this piece has been finished with two coats of a non-yellowing acrylic varnish to protect and enhance its beauty for many years to come. The back of this painting is signed by the artist, titled and dated (2009). The measurements are 12" x 9".

This original painting is a wonderful treasure to collect for yourself ~ but it would also make a great 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
