More Mexican paintings

I delivered my paintings to the gallery yesterday and was amazed by the other artists work. There are such talented people out there! Make an effort to support your local galleries and maybe you will discover some of the hidden talent.
I painted the Virgin de Guadelupe as a final piece for the exhibition. It doesn't have the same brightness as the others but rather a soft and calm presence. Again I added the chihuahuas to carry through the theme.

And then, just for fun I did these 2 Chihuahua "shrines" with tiles, mirrors, gold leaf, foil flowers and roses.
