Hola! Muchas Gracias for stopping by my Terlingua Art Studio near Terlingua Ghost Town & Big Bend National Park (Texas) along the border of Old Mexico! For your consideration today I am offering this original painting:
DESCRIPTION
Such a sweet aura in this Mexican retablo of San Pascual Bailon! The holy patron of cooks ~ also quaintly known as the "kitchen saint" ~ and to whom many pray: "San Pascual Bailon, tiza mi fogon" (San Pascual Bailon, inspire my kitchen). The Spanish lettering on this painting reads: I make the stew ~ and you add the seasoning.
San Pascual is cooking with his Talavera clay pots on the woodburning stove ~ and he is in good company with his loyal little grey tabby cat close at hand ~ kitty also has a tiny bowl of "leche" (milk) that is very cool & refreshing! On the floor is a clay pot with fresh vegetables purchased from mercado & about to go into the stew: squash, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, celery ~ ummnnn...sounds yummy! And no doubt it will be with the blessing of San Pascual!
What a cheery cocina this is! Bright yellow walls and a blue Talavera tile counter top ~ a pretty shelf above the red brick stove where cherished dishware is displayed ~ a favourite plate, pitcher, & vase ~ and on the counter are a set of ceramic canisters. And hanging below the shelf is a chili ristra, a string of indian corn, and a frying pan. Not only an attractive kitchen this is ~ but also a very well-equipped one!
This is a VERY LARGE work of art ~ almost 4 feet high! And nearly 3 feet wide! It measures 40"x32" and will spendidly decorate any wall on which it is placed ~ whether it is in your casa or place of work. This fabulous folk art painting will be a focal point and a special addition to the collection of artwork in any home, restaurant, church community room, etc.! Also, there are so many colours in this piece (turquoise, blue, green, purple, yellow, gold, coral, red & desert tan) that it will easily go with most any colour scheme!
What a great opportunity this is for the right buyer to add to his or her collection of Mexican Folk Art! And a perfect time to start a collection (if you haven't already) as Mexican Folk Art is quite popular now ~ and increasing in value with time.

The colours in this piece are really beautiful! Shades of turquoise, blue, green, and red.

ABOUT THIS PAINTING

This Southwest ~ Mexican 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 outdoor decorating such as a backporch or patio area. Also, this piece, which is 6 3/4" x 6", 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!

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! And, please, while you are here take a moment to

Cowgirl Wanna-Be-Pink Cowgirl (Cowboy) Boots-Wild and Wooly Colourful PIG-Southwest-Southwestern Folk Art-Oaxaca Colours-Collectible-Collection-RoMy-A

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=150333771010#ebayphotohosting
To view more photos or to purchase this collectible piece of Southwest Folk Art please follow the link above.
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!
