Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

Original Acrylic on canvas, painted entirely with palette knives. This painting started out being painted as a live demo on the Rooftop Patio at the #WacoWineryTastingRoom on #AustinAve in #DowntownWacoTexas. The video shows the beginning stages of blocking in shapes and background. The remaining work was completed over the next week back in my #McGregorTexas Studio. Inspired by a trip years ago to Sedona Arizona, one of my favorite trips ever that included a visit to Tlaquepaque along the river in Sedona. This fantastic place built in the style of an old Mexican village, inspired me to use my photo reference as a starting point to create an imaginary scene adding to the scene as needed with artist license to create a painting with vibrant color and texture. The resulting painting was very much UNLIKE the blowing, rainy, winter day where I began the painting! An ESCAPE! It takes me away and I hope it does you too!
