"Mexican Village Flowerpot" (SOLD)

Real de Catorce is a village (some would say a "ghost town") of fewer than 1,000 residents that sits at 9,000 feet on the side of a mountain in the Sierra de Catorce range in Mexico. Once a thriving silver mining settlement, it was nearly abandoned in the early 1900s. Today tourism is reviving the town.

This is a painting I started a LONG time ago but returned to this week.

Many thanks to Alex M. for the photographic inspiration!
