The decendants of the original peoples of Mexico still live there. The costumes of the Indian women are refreshing to eyes that see much of the world adopting our American style of dress. I am a morning person. I can't sleep in. I almost always rise before every one else and begin my day quietly.
Morning is a peaceful time and one filled with great beauty.
Sunrise and sunset are my two favorite times of day because there is so much visual change going on. Hence, they have been the subjects for many of my paintings. From the time I was a child, I have been fascinated by mechanical devices. I have been fixing and restoring old stuff most of my life. I felt a strange drive as I created this painting.
