Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Paintings
Title: "Mariachi ~ Bajo Las Estrellas"
Size: Approx. 6 1/4" x 6" (painted on thin TIN)
Hola! Muchos 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 with NO RESERVE:
DESCRIPTION
Beneath the stars and moon this night in Old Mexico ramance fills the air ~ the balmy midnight breeze is whispering softly through the palms ~ the Mariachi are strumming the guitars and singing sweet songs of love as the pretty senorita Carmen is romanced by the handsome hombre Artemio ~ while a hoot owl watches in curiosity this night of love!
This is a highly collectible piece of Mexican Folk Art for all you collectors & will add an extra special touch to the decor of any casa! Or office workplace!
This is a sweet little painting with lots of Old Mexico FiEsTa colours ~ turquoise, blue, green, red, pink, purple and gold! Enough colours to match the colour scheme of any casa! Also this would look nice in a Mexican restaurant, too!

ABOUT THIS PAINTING

This Mexican folk art painting is an ORIGINAL work of art, brightly painted with acrylics on a piece of thin TIN which makes it especially charming & folk artsy (tin is a most popular "canvas" to paint on in Old Mexico) Also, this piece, which is approx. 6 1/4" x 6", has been finished with several coats of non-yellowing acrylic enamel to protect and enhance its beauty for years to come. Ordinarily when I paint one of these "tins" I punch a hole in it so that it is ready to hang ~ however, this time I decided to leave the choice to you, the buyer, to decide how to display your new artwork! This tin can be displayed just as it is by placing it on a small easel, or propped against a fireplace mantle, a window sill, a bookshelf, etc. You could even attach a picture hanger hook on back ~ or with a hammer and a nail, just punch a small hole at the top ~ or perhaps two (one on each side). You could then mount it directly to the wall ~ or make a nice hanger for it with wire or raffia or ribbon! Lots of ideas for you to choose from. And of course you can always frame it! The front of this painting is signed by the artist, and the back is signed, titled and dated (2010).
This tin is nice displayed by itself ~ or in a collection! (just as they decorate their casa in Old Mexico ~ tins all over the walls!)
Also these make a wonderful gift!!

Description:


Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Paintings



Mexican Ex-voto Retablo Dedicated to Virgen de Guadalupe

Size: Approx. 7 1/2" x 8" (painted on thin TIN ~ tiny nail hole already punched ~ ready to hang!)
Muchos Gracias for dropping by my Terlingua Art Estudio near the Big Bend National Park in Texas ~ today for your consideration I am offering this original retablo with NO RESERVE:
DESCRIPTION

This Mexican Ex-voto Retablo is dedicated to the Virgen de Guadalupe and the translation of the story written in Spanish is: "Therese gives thanks to the Virgen de Guadalupe for her safe watch over them always."
This prayer is said as Mama tucks her wee ones into bed for the night ~ Paco, Pedro, Patrice & Petra ~~~ Pedro is already fast asleep but the other children are still awake but only just barely!

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, ex-voto 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 Mexican Exvoto 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!
The colours in this piece ~ yellow, gold, blue, turquoise, green, purple, red, pink, coral, and burnt orange ~ are very vibrant ~ & the characters are delightfully whimsical! Also there is much intricate detail ~ a hanging basket with flowers ~ a tiny candle on the windowsill ~ a clay pot with paper mache flowers ~ a ceramic pitcher on the table beneath the window ~ a lovely woven rug ~ an extra blanket (hand-made by Mama) at the foot of the bed in case the children get cold in the night ~ and a sliver of a moon and a sprinkling of stars!
ABOUT THIS PAINTING
