This is a RoMy Original Tiny Tin (TM) - a great piece that will add a touch of Southwest Colour to your casa!
I have been painting these "tiny tins" for many years now and even though I use acrylic paints - painting on tin makes the acrylic more like watercolor! I love the feel of the paint slipping and sliding across the surface because it really allows me to paint with more flow and less control over my brush.
I also enjoy painting on canvas and enjoy doing large works of art - my latest have been on canvas 40"x32" -
I find the challenge of going from a tiny piece of tin to a huge piece of canvas where everything is on a much bigger scale (or vice versa) an opportunity to expand my abilities as an artist!

DESCRIPTION

This kitty cat and rabbit find themselves both in the same flower garden, which is each one's most favorite spot for spending lazy, carefree afternoons in the early days of Spring. They study each other intently. Neither makes a move. Looks like a stand-off! Finally, they come to the happy realization, "We see things eye-to-eye!" And from a place of mutual interests, they drop their guard, having decided sharing is better than putting up a sign saying, "Mine!" This is a darling piece of Country Folk Art which will add a charming touch to the decor of any home! Or office where you work! It would be especially cute in a children's room also ~ but any bunny and cat lover will adore it, too!

ABOUT THIS PAINTING

This country folk art painting is an ORIGINAL work of art, brightly painted with acrylics on a piece of thin TIN, which makes it ideal for indoor and/or outdoor decorating such as a backporch or patio area. Also, this piece, which is 6" x 5", has been finished with a non-yellowing acrylic enamel to protect and enhance its beauty for years to come. There are already two holes punched in the top and it comes with a gold-colored wire hanger so that it can be immediately displayed once you receive it! The back of this painting is signed by the artist, titled and dated (2009).

This RoMy Original Tiny Tin (TM) is small (in size) but sweet ~ simply feel good art! These are wonderful collectibles and look really great single or displayed in groups on your wall ~ or hooked over the knob on a cupboard door ~ or if you like remove the attached hanger and place these on windowsills, bookshelves, fireplace mantles ~ just let your imagination guide you!

If you don't already have a collection of these this is an excellent time to start as I have several currently on eBay ~ and I am always adding new ones to my auction page!

A RoMy Original Tiny Tin (TM) also makes an excellent 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 River, 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!

Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy
Mexican Ex-voto Retablo Dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Size: 6 1/2" x 5 1/4" (painted on thin tin ~ hole already punched ~ ready to hang!)
DESCRIPTION
This Mexican Ex-voto Retablo is dedicated to the Virgen de Quadalupe and the translation for the Spanish writing is: "Life is good thanks to Virgen de Gualalupe!"
Beautiful colours in this charming retablo! Shades of gold, yellow, turquoise, blue, desert tan, and a touch of red and pink. The setting is a little village in Old Mexico ~ the sun is big and bright ~ there are villagers moving about ~ cats are busy ~ chickens in the windows ~ and plenty of cacti ~ ocotillo ~ giant daggers! A busy little piece!
Mexican Ex-voto retablos offer a prayer and a thanksgiving from one who prays to a particular saint for some special act of deliverance from harm or for protection or healing or blessing in their life and the lives of their loved ones. Today, retablos are sought after and displayed in groups in a special area of the home ~ though they were once most often taken to the church to be left at the altar.
What a wonderful time to start your own collection of retablos ~ which are sure to increase in value with time! And what a charming touch of the Mexican tradition this one will add to the decor any home ~ or office workplace ~ and put a smile in the heart of anyone who loves Old Mexico!
