NR! Garden Party Cat Tin MeXiCaN FoLk ArT RoMy Painting "Bienvenidos" Santa Elena Canyon ~ Rio Grande Terlingua Estudio Description: Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Paintings Title: "Garden Party" Size: Approx. 6 1/2" 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 It's a gorgeous morning here in the Chihuahuan Desert of Old Mexico ~ the sun is on the rise ~ and the lovely senorita "Lydia" and her little gato "Lego" are out early to enjoy a few moments of quiet time ~ perfect for picking flowers from the garden to fill Lydia's basket for the casa ~ Lydia and Lego, however, aren't the only ones enjoying the flowers ~ the rabbits "Paco" and "Therese" are already there in the thick of them ~ good! Lego so enjoys playing with the bunnies ~ but uh oh! ~ here comes the rooster "Manny" ~ and the roadrunner "Rico" ~ and both these guys just love pecking gato from behind! It definitely looks like Lego will be a huge hit at this "Garden Party" ~~~ Pretty ocotillo in the background put the finishing touches on this charming painting ~~~ This is a highly collectible piece of Mexican Folk Art for all you collectors! It will add an extra special touch to the decor of any casa! Or office workplace! A sweet & whimsical little "tin" with lots of Old Mexico FiEsTa colours ~ green, turquoise, purple, lavender, blue, red, black, gold, burnt orange, tan, yellow and coral! 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 1/2" 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! Or attach a magnet to the back (no glue needed) and this tin will stick to your refrigerator, file cabinet ~ or anything metal! Plus because of its durability it would make great outdoor decor! These also make a fabulous border trim around doors & windows! 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 (2011). 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!! 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, 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 paint... read more
