Description
I created this painting as the last piece for my upcoming exhibition 'Life in Skeleton' at the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society (New River Inn) Florida Day of the Dead (Oct 25th -Nov 2nd 2016. I wanted to create a piece that represented the spirit of the season and our celebration of Dia de los Muertos. I had remembered a photograph a friend sent me from her trip to Oaxaca, Mexico during Dia de los Muertos. You can't get any more authentic than this, since this is the heart of where Dia de los Muertos originated. I used the photograph below of two women carry baskets of offerings of marigolds and pan dulce to their loved one's altars. I created the scene around them using inspiration from 'Grave Sight'; an acrylic I painted in 2010
