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.

prints, prints on canvas, prints framed and unframed - greeting cards
for all seasons - and for the first time international sales! Please
