"A State of Mind"~Church~MeXiCaN FoLk ArT~RoMy Painting
Here is the next entry from photographer/lecturer Peter Koch's 1945 Diary from the Big Bend National Park, Texas (and if you're just joining the reading of this diary please refer back to the post of September 3, 2009)
April 11th
Spent most of the day working on the boat and watching the orioles.
In the evening we went to Dr. Maxwells home and after cocktails and meeting with the visitors - the director - and later joined the entire group at a dinner -
The first news of Pres. Franklin Roosevelt came in on short wave and the sudden death was a shock to all.
During the evening I had a chance to discuss the making of a picture for the Park - Drury agreed on the essentials - and a discussion of the details will no doubt follow.
We listened to Newton Drury address the Park directors and following that we went to trailer to discuss the many events - of the past two days.
End of this diary post for this day
And please while you are here take a moment to view my latest painting titled "A State of Mind" which is presently available on ebay.

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
"A State of Mind" ~ this is #2 in a series of paintings with churches in a desert landscape setting ~
This is a beautiful little church in La Linda, Mexico ~ and although the church has been abandoned many years ~ the spirit of peace is still present ~
The aura surrounding this painting is soothing to the soul. And the colours are gorgeous! Lovely shades of blue, purple, turquoise, green, and pink coral ~ 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!
This painting will make a nice adornment for any room in your home ~ or a church community room or recreation hall!
ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This Mexican/Southwest 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
