Last Painting of 2016

Well, here it is...the last painting of 2016.

Ouch, acrylic and ink on canvas, 11" x 14"
Original and prints available

This year leaves most of us in need of a little healing. I could think of no better (or hopeful) symbol for that than E. T. the Extraterrestrial's glowing finger. Silly, I know.
Prompted (because "inspired" feels an odd word) by what feels like unprecedented cultural loss in 2016, of generation x youth, specifically, expect a series of Save the 80's Latin Pop paintings and a group show art call in the coming weeks/months.

Frida del Mar/Frida of the Sea

Frida del Mar, acrylic and ink on canvas, 12" x 24"

This painting, from my solo exhibit Se Habla Español includes Latin iconography as well as recurring symbols of healing throughout my work such as water, sea (seashell) and the lotus. She is currently available from my Latin Pop Shop online store.
