Cactus Garden~Southwest~Mexican FoLk ArT~RoMy~Paintings

Hola! Hope you had a wonderful day! It was great here in my little corner of the world ~ the rain we had the last couple days cooled temps off and it was only about 95 today. Perfect! We have lots of rain potential all week, too. That'd sure be great for we have been soooooo very dry. The river rafters will be running the Rio Grande no doubt! After a really big rain I love to listen to the river roaring through Santa Elena Canyon....so awesome all that energy & power!

Nothing to show you on my new Don Quixote work as yet....but here's one of my cactus pieces....

And in closing, here's the Artist Quote for the day: To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to hell. -- Igor Stravinsky

Night all! RoMy

HUGE!~Don Quixote~40x32~Paintings~MeXiCaN FoLk ArT~RoMy

Hola! I hope you had a great day & it's good to see you! I had a wonderful day working here in my estudio on my next Don Quixote piece ~ a coastal setting ~ which would be a nice complementary piece to go with this one I recently finished! It's still in the early stages so it'll be a while yet before I share any photos!

Here in the Big Bend Country it is so nice and cool this evening ~ we had 1/10 inch of rain which we so needed! And the rain helped ease the hot temps we'd been having. The Ghost Mountains (the Chisos) over in the Park were so beautiful all day ~ misty clouds hovering over like a soft white cloak....it was really cool up at the Lodge no doubt! Such a higher elevation there than here in the desert lowlands along the river.

In closing, here's the Artist Quote for the day: The artist has a special task and duty: the task of reminding men of their humanity and the promise of their creativity. -- Lewis Mumford



Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art Painting ~ RoMy
Title: "Don Quixote de la Mancha"
Size: 40"x32" ~ AWESOME SIZE CANVAS!!!
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
Don Quixote! The most beloved & famous character created by Miguel de Cervantes. This novel is considered by many critics as being the greatest ever written! Alonso Quijana (Don Quixote) is an elderly sixteenth-century Spanish gentleman who sets out with his "squire" Sancho Panza on a mission of high adventure! In this painting Don Quixote (with his faithful horse Rozinante by his side) is prepared to attack the windmills which he believes to be "ferocious giants!"
I just love Don Quixote & this piece was such fun to paint ~ I may do several more of him! Just thinking of his adventures makes we want to paint them all!
This very memorable quote of his is one of my favourites (maybe yours, too!):
Don Quixote to Sancho: There is a world outside La Mancha. There is a great elsewhere, my neighbor. And there we may both find fame and fortune.
Sancho Panza: How much does honor pay by the hour?
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. Also, there are so many colours in this piece (turquoise, blue, purple, gold, coral, red, desert tan and yellow) 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.
Please Note: Colours may vary according to different computer monitors.
