Lots of beautiful colours in this charming piece of Mexican/Southwest Folk Art ~ the background is painted gold with a light green wash applied over it which gives it just a hint of green, too. (Please note in the photo it appears that the background is green; yet it is truly what I would describe as predominantly gold with a tinge of green, a blending of colours ~ which is how most everything in Old Mexico is painted ~ they blend their colours so well!)

I live on the border between Texas and Old 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.
