New Mexico Kitchen Sink

New Mexico Sink

8x6" oil on canvas panel SOLD

I am on vacation and, yes...thank you...I am

enjoying a very relaxing time. 

We have been visiting wonderful friends and

I have painted every day

This painting is a re-post from 3/13/13

Off to visit son #1 today in his new home. FUN!

Hubby at home guarding the fort!

Artist Note.

It was Lisa Graham who sent this comment on

my last post of a Chili Ristra hanging by a door.

"Whenever I see a Ristra I always think of an old

Mexican kitchen with a large window over

the sink and shutters. 

Then I want to make enchiladas."

I could see the image she created so clearly in my

mind and this is what I came up with.

As this developed entirely from my imagination,

it kept on growing when I added items as I

recalled them. Most likely from the many,

many kitchens I have been in in Mexico and

El Paso.

Hand painted tile, no granite. No dishwasher.

Garlic and Chili Riestra's hanging by the window.

Tomatoes ripening on the windowsill.

Casual flowers or pretty weeds in a jar.

If she painted it...

Lisa's version most likely would have a plump,

motherly type rolling out the flour tortillas.

All painted in her wonderful unique style.

Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa. I enjoyed

painting this.
