Salmon sky

Not entirely salmon but look at the pink oranginess of this sunset today. I had to run outside when I saw it. I also saw a salmon mesquite tree but was too late for that one since this color lasts a couple of seconds and then it disappears. I got the last salmon and I am glad I did. I could not live without the beautiful sky of the valley.

Last Fall semester our class got to visit UT Museum where Cildo Meireles's permanent instalation was showcased. At first, the sight of this instalation was a bit eerie and beautiful at the same time. It glows even though a black veil surrounds the whole instalation.

This instalation was comissioned by the Church in Brazil and ironically it criticizes the church.

He made a statement with his artwork that it took money and the death of many native people from Brazil in order to build the catholic church.

la capilla

My painting "La capilla" [The Chapel] found a home already. This painting of the cemetery "Sagrado Corazon de Jesus" is the first I made.

Aranza

Usually artists paint their love ones, so I decided to paint my goddaughter. She has a lovely face and like she said, "A que bonita estoy." This is the first time I painted portraits. I did three self portraits, but they were all different.
