ABOUT THIS PIECE

In the heart of a sun-kissed pueblito, a flower merchant walks his well-packed donkey to the market with an adornment of beautiful flowers. Surrounding them and the cobble stone path they walk, are large colorfully vibrant Adobe casitas and large elaborate haciendas with terraces and balconies.  The scene captures the essence of this enchanting village nestled against the majestic landscape that awaits the viewer beyond the stucco gate entrance atop the pueblito.  Closest to the viewer are large traditional Mexican pots with the ever present prickly pear cactus. The architecture and the scenery tell stories of generations past.  - Oneida Trevino
