Sunday Art Review: Mexican Artists

Since I am off on my cruise, I decided on a Mexican theme for this week's Sunday Art Review. I found a few artists from Mexico whose paintings that caught my eye for various reasons. So these are my selections to feature on the Sunday Art Review. I hope you enjoy viewing this collection as much as I enjoyed researching these works of art. This first featured painting is called "Mother Earth", by Ernesto Hernandez Olmos. Although it's not a typical style that appeals to me, I quite like the sense of warmth and kindness that this work exudes.

Thanks for stopping by for another installment of the Sunday Art Review. Did you have any favorites from today's collection? Do any "speak" to you? Go ahead, leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you.

    While I think I would appreciate the overall effect in an authentic setting, none of them speak to me individually. I do kind of like the pattern on lizard lady's dress...
