Mexican Art...




These are the 3 paintings I did for the show at the Mexican Restaurant to celebrate Cinco de Mayo ...May 5th... This is the order that I did them in....The first one: I WILL ALWAYS BRING YOU ROSES....traditional sugar skull done on wood with acrylic paint....The second one: PIN STRIPES was a great deal of fun...cut the skull out of tin and then painted it with acrylic paint...embellished it with jewels and bottle caps then dusted it with very fine glitter to give it a sugary appearance... the background was stenciled black on black the skull and spine were raised up about a half inch off the wood background and then a metalic hew of oil pastels was used to outline the skull....the final look of the "pin stripes' was done with a metalic paint and Pearl Ex powder.....The last one: NO EVIL....is suppose to be a play on SEE..SPEAK... HEAR no evil in the form of a slot machine game....
Now, maybe I can get back to doing my regular stuff!! LOL....But what FUN I did have!
Artfully Yours,
