Sharing the Fire – original sold / When I was growing up, my mother used to make flour tortillas almost every day. During the hot summer days, her friends and neighbors would get together to make tortillas outside their homes. They would share the fire on this big metal burner. This painting reflects my memory of it. I also remember a small blue crooked table where they used to put the tortillas. It was probably made by somebody for kids to play with. I loved to eat the tortillas when they were hot off the burner. I would stay close by so I could have one. Now I make tortillas almost every weekend for my boys. They love them. They always come and stand behind me asking for one. And of course, Sasha the dog would love to have one too. I have changed my mother’s tortilla recipe. She used to use lard. My recipe for a dozen tortillas: / 2 cups all purpose flour / 1/2 teaspoon salt / 1/2 teaspoon baking powder / 1/4 cup extra light olive oil / 1/2 cup warm water
Plumeria, most readily associated with the beautiful, fragrant leis of Hawaii, is actually a native of Mexico, Central America, and Venezuela. From those three areas, the flower has found its way around the globe. Plumeria’s common name is frangipani which came from an Italian family of nobility which concocted perfume with the scent of plumeria. A relative of Oleander, the plumeria plant contains a poisonous milky sap. The plumeria in this photo was cultivated by a good friend who has countless varieties growing in her nursery which specializes in this tropical/subtropical beauty.

In the beautiful city of Merida, in the Yucatan state of Mexico, the Governmental Palace was built as the royal household at the end of the XIX century. Its interior adorns a harmonious patio and its walls are covered with three master pieces of Fernando Castro Pacheco: the Mayan Cosmology, the Simbology of the Four Cardinal Points and the Man’s Creation. In the History parlor more works of this yucateco painter are exposed, showing passages of this state’s history, as the native rebellion headed by the Indian Canek and the Castes’ War.

We stayed the the exquisite Hotel Villa Merida during our travels to Merida, Mexico. This hotel, converted from an old palace had the most exquisite colonial architecture that I have ever seen and taking photographs of just the architecture of this beautiful old building was an absolute delight – culturally rich lines, shapes and forms just awaiting to be discovered just around the corner and in every nook – as if almost beckoning a small child to go exploring her stairs, rooms, and grounds. This fountain was in the main courtyard of the building, setting the mood as soon as one enters the main heavy colonial doors.

Took me quite awhile to nail down a decent photo-and even still the mirrored glass makes it so difficult to focus clearly. The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is the rarest and most genetically distinct species of Gray Wolves in North America. They are also the smallest species and its’ main prey is the White-Tailed deer, though it will prey upon other ungulate species as well. They hunt in packs of 5 or 6 and adults usually mate for life. Our zoo is one of a few that is helping with the reintroduction program for this species.

Mixed Media Acrylic on Canvas 36×36” from the Charro Series ….. The spurs of yester- year worn proudly they would jingle jangle as the Charro walked, but once mounted they gleemed with sunshine that would blind the viewer, the unsupecting. The spurs of yester-year, passed on to Son, Like Father, like Son and so on…...The Legend go on still lives in the present day Charro, a mirror of Pride and yes Vanity, but more important the The Legend The Culture continues. If you ever have the chance to feel to see the passion the Culture of the Mexican Charro, mounted on his Noble Steed don’t miss it….... it’s a sight to see up close and personal.
I wanted to do a more serious and fierce styled dragon. This was sketched lightly on paper, scanned into the computer and then digitally painted in Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai. I hope you all enjoy it!
