Inspiration Avenue visits Mexico this week.
This little painting is my entry:

I am daily immersed in the Mexican community living here in Arizona. I work at a barrio school, I love the colors and flavors of the Mexican culture.Spicy!!  Politically I'm involved in some local struggles and don't like to see families torn apart and children hurt because of racial profiling. Mostly  I love the people....and that could be said for all people because we are ONE!

    PS: I wanted to color one of the pages in that coloring book, but I ran out of time...this theme had so many possibilities.

  6. I'm not sure which is more enjoyable, the vibrant painting or your inspiring words. Both are simply elegant.
