Catching the stars

The other day my 5 years old daughter told me about how cute and twinkle are the stars. She is always so curious about everything and asked me how they have their own light, I said they were God's candles he uses to guide us in our life.
How amazing could be to catch one and keep it close to you so your life could be lighted and guided in the correct way.
This inspired me to create this mixed media painting, I cute girl hunting in a dark night a big star!

A Christmas present

I love Christmas!!!
Is the season when all the family members gather around the table and have a delicious dinner. I remember the Christmas I spent when I was a kid, the smell of the turkey my grandma had in the oven, or the tasty pasta my mom was preparing.
Me playing with my cousins and the gifts we opened with such enthusiasm and excitement.

Now I tried that my girls have a special Christmas so they have good memories about it.

My new painting reflect that innocence of the my little girls, the excitment of giving and sharing.
Enjoy this Christmas Present

Wednesday Mexican Colors updates: Touch of an angel

Turning my back to the world down below,for infinite heavens I go.
Flying high with freedom in my soul.The Angel and I,all alone in the sky,
my spirit is leaving tonight.All I leave behind's my mortal shell.

Take me to the sky. Wings of freedom take me to the home of Angels,realm of heaven.
Teach me how to fly,let me feel the touch of an Angels hand.
Take me far away.Wings of freedom take me to where souls of Gods,and men will gather.
Help me to escape,let me feel the touch of an Angel.
I am learning to fly.

  The next day we went to Solvang California, the cutest town you have ever imagine and all this cuteness make me feel is was time to take my art in the next level: Whimsy, pinkie and cute art.

And then my little painted girls were created, just inpired by my muses:

Thursday of Mexican Colors Update: My pencil sketches

This post it has to be done on wenesday, but yesterday was a busy day: volunteering in my daugther's school and taking pictures of my products of my other etsy store (soCuties).

Last week I painted a cute painting inspired in the famous surrealist painting of Remedios Varo: Papilla Estelar.

Remedios Varo was born in Angles, Spain, in 1908 and traveled when young with her father throughout Spain and North Africa. She acquired an early interest in mathematics, mechanical drawing, and fantastic locomotive vehicles from her father, a hydraulic engineer.


Varo attended convent schools and at the age of 15 attended the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid where she learned about Surrealism. Varo was attracted to the idea of expressing her emotions using figures and symbols. Later in Barcelona she met the Surrealist poet Benjamin Peret and together they moved to Paris, joining the Surrealist movement in France. In Paris, with the stimulating company Varo's work matured into a personal voice that was original and provocative.

Varo and Peret moved to Mexico to escape the war in 1942 and Varo settled there for the rest of her life. In 1956 Varo had her first one woman exhibition at the Galeria Diana in Mexico City. She had a retrospective at the Museo de Arte Moderno in 1971 and drew the largest audience in the history of the museum. Many of Varo's paintings reflect her early fascination with science and instruments. They embrace a fascination with the workings of the universe and the inner world of fantasy, invention, and dreams.
