HOW SUITE IT IS / Daily Painting #1310

How Suite It Is / Oil on Paper Mounted on Panel / 6 x 6 Inches / Click on the Image to Enlarge

You know how I love painting “found” still lifes. After six weeks or so in hotel rooms in Spain, a few nights in a Santa Fe Suite while getting Betsy repaired and taking care of some other business really was kind of sweet. Having a kitchen, a refrigerator, a breakfast counter and separate desk, plus a comfy sofa and plenty of space really makes a difference. Oh, spoil me.

STILL LIFE IN A SPANISH HOTEL / Daily Painting #1295

Still Life in a Spanish Hotel / Ink and Watercolor / 6 x 9 Inches

It was far and away the worst hotel I encountered on my entire trip. But it did have the most interesting things to paint and memories that will last; so how could I complain?

I checked in late and left early the next morning, swearing to read all the reviews when booking ahead on the Internet in the future.

PATTERNS / Daily Painting #1228

Damn! Don't know what I did, but somehow managed to dump tonight's well crafted, thought provoking, terribly interesting post, just as I was ready to publish it.

Well I'm not going to redo the whole thing, so here's the short version:

We all stayed home today, swam, read, rested. I worked a bit on images and gear. Thea did Kayce's hair. She looked great when we all six went to Pegaso for dinner. ( The fried rabbit was as good as any I've had.)

I'm the last one up, but not for long.

¡Hasta Mañana!

FRIDA’S BEDSIDE / Daily Painting #1216

Frida's Bedside / Watercolor and Ink / 6 x 9 inches

These pencils and brushes were on the nightstand next to Frida's bed. For some reason, they've been on my mind all day.

We left Mexico City today, and arrived right at sunset at Casa Laura. More about that, later. But, for now, a short post and a soft bed.

¡Hasta Mañana!

STILL LIFE AT FRIDA’S / Daily Painting #1215

Still Life at Frida's / Watercolor and ink / 6 x 9 inches

We got in a day of museum hopping today, beginning with a taxi ride out to Coyoacán, for the Watercolor Museum, Museo Nacional de la Acuarela Alfredo Guati Rojo, where we saw an interesting show featuring the works of a Peruvian and a Cuban. This is a beautiful small museum, and also contains a permanent exhibit of Watercolor in Mexico from Pre-Hispanic times to the present.

Next, we re-visited the home of Frida Kahlo, the Casa Azul, where the iconic Mexican Artist, wife of muralist Diego Rivera, was born, lived, and died. This is a fascinating museum, and our favorite part is the kitchen, with its collections of ceramics and striking blue and yellow tiles. And the subject of today's painting.

We returned to the Centro Historico for a visit to show Thea Diego's mural, Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park, which was saved and carefully moved from its former location in the Hotel Del Prado which was demolished in the 1985 earthquake to its own museum.

We topped off the day with a walk through the Alameda Park and an exceptional last Mexico City dinner at my old favorite Los Girasoles.

Next stop, San Miguel de Allende.

THE FARRIER’S BENCH / Daily Painting #1165

Watercolor / 6 x 9 inches

Another of my favorite things to paint, a found still life. Something I come across in the course of a day. A chance arrangement of forms, shapes, colors, light and shadow. Nothing formal, just something that catches my eye, something I wish to share. As found.

AT THE TAILOR’S / Daily Painting #1138

Watercolor / 6 x 9 inches

If you would like to own today's painting, send your bid (Minimum $200) in an email to: farnsworthgallery@newmex.com, or call Thea at 505 982-4561.

I think of this as a found still life, because, although it was originally set up as a formal display to show off the tailor's work, it has become a bit messy, and less formal over time. Also, there is the fact that as the artist, I did nothing to change, re-arrange, or “set up” this still life. I simply painted my reaction to it, as found.
