Based upon the stories told to me by my dear friend about Mexico; I painted this after his descriptions and pictorial research to emulate the old streets of Mexico. One color limitation was to make this painting feel very warm and to work with vibrant complimentary color which is found in the architecture and clothing in Mexico.
There is a story here about the relations of women and men in the culture, both equally hard working.
