    Willard, what a lovely family you have! Seriously, is there a story behind this portrait?

    This is a foto I show those who have not been to Méjico to explain calacas, Catrinas and other art subjects that explicate Dia De Los Muertos figures, Sara. Skeletons and death figures are common in Mejican art and artisanry.

    This was on display in Bernal, Querétaro and it really caught my eye.

    Typically Mejican, Richard, including the humor.

    You really have an eye, my friend, for finding and depicting people and things that help peel away the layers of the social fabric of our southern neighbors. Your affinity for colors is another stand-out feature to your work. I love this shot.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
