Memories of Mexico....
Always with us...
Mexican art from Chiapas and Oaxaca
The handcrafted yarn horse with
Chiapas hero Marcos stand below a
wall hanging from Valle del Teotitlan, Oaxaca.
The last time we were in Oaxaca we met
Arnulfo Mendoza a wonderful artist and person.
Unfortunately he died suddenly in March of this year.
We are so fortunate to have spent some time
with him and his family.

RIP Arnulfo
August 17, 1954 - March 7, 2014

May he be at rest, lovely photos of your visit there. Enjoy your weekend and much happiness for you and your loved ones into the new year!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful experience and I love your photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shadowy warmth beneath the wall hanging. And the artist looks like a kindly creator. Lovely expression on his face.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. How sad though that he had such a short life. I'm so happy you got to spend some time with his family.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
Please accept these condolences...
ReplyDeleteHe was 'fairly' young too. I hope you have a piece of his work.

RIP
ReplyDeleteYour descriptions and pictures of Mexico make me want to take time to visit.
ReplyDeleteHow sad to lose a talented artist in his prime.
Arnulfo's life might not have been long, but that photo shows a man happy with himself and doing what he loved. If only that could be said of everyone.
ReplyDeleteLovely Mexican shadows and sad that such a talent has been cut short so young.
ReplyDeleteGosh...not even 60 years old. Too young to die.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely treasures to have of that trip which continues to 'give'!
Looks like good memories.
ReplyDeleteHold on to the memories and the good times, Kathe.
ReplyDeleteVery best wishes for 2015!
The world lost a great talent.
ReplyDeleteVery cute shadows!
