Friend Viviana is an artist, with a fabulous eye and talent.
She, like her art is full of color, shadow, and whimsy.
Her characters make me smile.
In fact I think they make everyone smile, how can they not.

This is a character she recently posted on facebook,
how can you not smile when you see this!
I recently decided I needed something of hers, something fun, happy, cheerful, whimsical.
I had Viviana over and we sat and chatted about what I wanted, she took photos, made measurements, and went away.
A few days later she sends this!
Here are left and right closeups
I am thrilled.
Here she is working; the sketches have been traced, and she is now starting to paint.
She spent 3 nearly 8 + hour days painting!
Here are the shots of my new mural, in progress!

Certainly one of the finest artists in Merida, and what a joyful expression, and perfect canvas for her fabulous characters, i imagine whole spaces filled with these magical beings. Great good fortune Tom and Debi, and thank you for supporting a local, very special artist.

Tell her to come over to my end of Mexico. I would hire her in a nanosecond. She could make some dough. Love that stuff.
ReplyDeleteDebi, that is beautiful - what a great idea and plus you are patronizing a local artist. I love the art.
