I Find Her In The Banana

Leaves

2009

oil on canvas

I love the intense colors in saturated

sunlight.  Colors, repeated patterns. 

Banana trees always remind me of hot

Texas summer days in my grandmother's

backyard.  She lived in the Rio Grande

Valley of southern Texas. 

Chickens, roosters, nopalitos and me

hiding under the giant banana leaves. 

Cat With Pan Dulce

acrylic on found wood

Cute little diptych painting on found

wood pieces.  Soft pinks, sea greens,

cherry woods, butter yellow. 

I love the hot colors of the caked on

sugars of mexican sweet breads.

acrylic on found wood, diptych

The shell of a snail, from its form, is a

natural symbol of the labyrinth, the spiral and

the underground cavern.
