NR Happy Desert Songbird MeXiCaN FoLk ArT RoMy Painting "Bienvenidos!" Santa Elena Canyon ~ Rio Grande Terlingua Estudio Description: Southwest ~ Mexican Folk Art ~ RoMy Original Paintings Title: "The Little Bird Sings ~ Knowing She Hath Wings" Size: Approx. 6 3/4" 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 It's another magnifico day in the Chihuahuan Desert of Old Mexico ~ and this little songbird ~ on a spindly branch of this ocotillo ~ feels it start to give way beneath her ~ "yet she sings ~ knowing she hath wings" (from a quote by Victor Hugo) Pretty desert verbena put the finishing touches on this very 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! This is a sweet little painting with lots of Old Mexico FiEsTa colours ~ turquoise, purple, blue, red, burnt orange, gold, 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 3/4" 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! 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! 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!! 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 w "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 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 take a moment to View My Other Items For Sale Presently, at eBay auction I have several paintings of various sizes from small to very large painted on tin, canvas, wood and ceramic tile. Lots of subjects: Saint Francis (San Francisco ~ patron of peace & animals), St. Tse, San Pascual Bailon (patron of cooks & most popularly known as t... read more
