HOMENAJE A LA VIDA....

Homenaje a la Vida - A very large painting I did years ago - Mexican women mourning - honoring the lives of loved ones now gone. I love the strength of these women - the power in their faces - the way they have come together. Lighting a candle today..... This painting was purchased by Jack and Bill, the founders of Artisan/Santa Fe when they first opened their store - and as far as I know was passed along and still resides in Santa Fe.
