La-noche1

Welcome to the Shrine Auction for the Street Children of Oaxaca.  I am very honored to be a part of this inspiring auction and I hope that you visit each and every artist to see their wonderful creations.

After visiting Oaxaca several years ago for Day of The Dead, I have thought of the street children there and thought of my own son. I wish for them a safe place to sleep and hope as they grow up and so much more. Together we can make a difference in these children's lives and their futures.

  La-noche-3

My shrine this year is a painting entitled, "La Noche". It speaks to me of the flaming heart of love and life. What we feel, see and touch - our dreams - la noche.

La-noche-2

The painting measures 12" X 12"" with a 2" museum style frame around the sides. 

Please visit all the wonderful shrines here and bid often! Your contribution will make a difference for the children living on the streets of Oaxaca.

This is a piece that speaks to me. I think it feels 'street' which makes it so perfect for remembering the children...I ♥ it!

Commenting right after Rebecca is a hard act to follow, as they say!
But, what a source of inspiration your piece derives!
Los suenos de la noche-yes!

Terrific. I especially like the masked wrestler guy. Excellent combination of visual interest in a small area.
