Description: This sun drenched plaza is a public gathering place for all the region surrounding this old colonial town.
It is a spot to relax, to bring the family, to eat, to shop, or just to meet and chat with old friends.
The vendors and entertainers mix with shoppers, families with children, and people hurrying about their business.
In the center of the square is a statue to some long forgotten hero or notable from a time past.
It could be a scene from almost any Central American country.
It was painted from many photographs I took while drawing and sketching around Patzcuaro, in south-western Mexico, February, 2006.
With over 175 painted figures and with dozens of individual stories, their interactions stimulate the viewer's imagination.
Oil on canvas. This triptych consist of three painted canvas panels each 18 x 36 inches. Each panel is unframed with painted edges, and wired for hanging.
The panels are designed to be hung side-by-side with a gap of about two inches between each. Together they extend over about nine and half feet of wall space.
