For a long look at what Wild Art actually is, be sure to check out the post – What is Wild Art?
Today’s wild art comes from the Brownsville Ship Channel
I was fortunate enough to have the big gun (a real camera, a real GOOD camera) along last spring when I spotted a name on a shrimp boat that reminded me of home, or specifically my whiskey sipping neighbor across the street – Joe.
Photographs, on their own, after thirty-six intense years of being obsessed with the format, do not do as much for my creative juices as do the things one can do with those too literal renditions. The Whiskey Joe is a perfect example of how to transform one of my average images into another, more appealing, less photographic style.
A beautiful piece by Oxacan Texas Artist Aurora Cabrera that is open to your own feelings for the place parents hold in our hearts. The Oxacan influence is apparent in all of Aurora's work. If you are not familiar with Oxaca, it is a place where cultures blend - the Maya, the Aztec and more accurately the Zapotec and Mixtec.
- Oaxacan art refers to the vibrant and intricate artistic traditions of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. This art is characterized by its colorful and detailed designs, often featuring animals, mythical creatures, and everyday scenes. One of the most well-known forms of Oaxacan art is alebrijes, which are whimsical, fantastical creatures carved from wood and painted with intricate patterns and bright colors. Another prominent form of Oaxacan art is pottery, known for its intricate designs and vibrant colors. Oaxacan artists often draw inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of the region, including its indigenous Zapotec and Mixtec traditions, as well as its natural beauty and diverse wildlife. -
This is a reproduction that is on a canvas full-wraparound frame. It is ready to hang, as is, or find a frame of your own to compliment this piece that is full of love and life.
