Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Paintings
Title: "Flor de Mexico"
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 with NO RESERVE:
DESCRIPTION
It's a gorgeous sunrise ~ and another beautiful day in Old Mexico! The pretty senoritas are all up early as this is the day the little "Flor de Mexico" comes by their casa to sell her fresh flowers! This little senorita with her burro is well known as she has been selling her lovely flowers for many years now! Everyone fondly calls her the "Flor de Mexico" (flower of Mexico) ~ and she is always welcomed with smiles and hugs from her faithful customers who eagerly purchase her flowers to add their beauty and sweet scent like perfume to their casa!
There are many tiny intricate details in this painting ~ the chili ristra ~ tiny pots of cactus and flowers on the balcony ~ the smallest cross above the door of one of the casas and a woven rug out front! There's also a rooster on the roof and two chickens strutting about! And the colours in this piece are gorgeous! Lovely shades of blue, turquoise, green, coral, pink, red, purple, desert tan, 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! A great painting not just for the home ~ but also for a Mexican restaurant!
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
