Rooster~Senorita~Morning~MeXiCaN FoLk ArT~RoMy Painting

Hola ~ from "Where Rainbows wait for Rain" near the Big Bend National Park area of Texas! The weather here has been ideal the past several days ~ cooler temperatures at last (and the rainbows have been getting their rain as we have had several showers)! Yesterday only reached 95 degrees and the mornings are perfect for being outside ~ if you love to hike this country is the place to be right now! I'm headed out for a nice hike this morning myself ~ but ~ first ~ breakfast and another cup of coffee!

While you are here please take a moment to view my "Morning, Morning, Mr. Sunshine!" ~ a brightly coloured piece of art featuring a little senorita who knows that Life Is Good!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous day & please drop in again soon! I hope to have my next painting ~ with a setting from Santa Elena Canyon ~ finished sometime this week!

Artist Quote for the day: Once Degas witnessed one of his paintings sold at auction for $100,000. Asked how he felt, he said, "I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey."

Size: 12" x 9" (on gallery-wrapped canvas ~ ready to display!)

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

It's a gorgeous sunrise ~ and another beautiful day in Old Mexico! The senorita of this lovely casa is just waking up ~ and stepping outside to catch the warm morning sun rays and listen to the early morning sound she loves ~ her rooster crowing! The only alarm clock she knows! With much thanksgiving in her heart ~ and joy to be alive ~ she welcomes the gift of a fresh new day ~ "Morning, morning, Mr. Sunshine!"

A colourful piece ~ with a rooster and a chicken ~ Talavera pots of cacti and flowers ~ and the senorita dressed in her very pretty nightgown! And the colours are gorgeous! Lovely shades of blue, turquoise, green, coral, red, yellow 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
