carry the artist's persona into the piece.

You are truly a Mexicana, Sara.

My personal favorite from the photos above is The giant clay pot in the garden.
Others that intrigue me are;
The dancers in the cave. 4 sections.
The cave painting with the sea below.
The dancers and cave painted critters in a swirl.
The Flowers and Pomagrantes in front of the sea.
The still life of watermelon, pineapple and other fruit.
The cactus going up the hill
The giant cardon
The one of the Spring that David bought.

A year or so after I got the oasis painting... we just happened to camp there... following Roy (The Squarecircle) to the spot... that is where we saw
all the bighorn sheep the next morning!
When we got home, I then realized that the painting was of a real place... and we were just there!

Simply awesome.
These endless lands and unique waters are not simply soil and sea. These elements of earth and water are as much a part of me as my blood and organs.
And the people that populate this corner of the world lift my spirit to heights that allow me to see what is truly important; The beauty of life. And
that is the essential gift.

Thanks Davids for posting the foto with the painting, these 2 pictures show the scene as it is and in Hugo Lopez's vision, both are beautiful. Similar
as they are, the spirit of the artist sings to me in the painting, but of course I do not see his soul in the photo, it is just so interesting to me
how that works.
I believe that it is not what you see but what you feel when you look at a painting that will tell you what the artist wants to convey.
Apart from studying and creating art, my other favorite thing to do is watch peoples reaction to different artist. Although the roots are mostly of a
Mexican Primitive Innocent Vain, I have an incredibly eclectic collection of work in my gallery, sitting back and watching peoples reactions or non
reaction never ceases to fascinate me.

You are welcome Sara!
We took a lot of photos at that oasis, but mostly of the bighorn sheep! I tried to find one that Roy (Squarecircle) took that I remember shows almost
the same angle as Hugo's painting is done at... If I do find it, I will add it... it is amazing...

An update, comparing last Sunday and the previous visit...
There were no new paintings since the guys and I stopped to eat there a couple months ago after our lost mission expedition. Again I asked Hugo if he
is painting much, and he said no...
Maybe if he sold more, it would inspire him... or he just needs to take a break?

Thanks to DavidK and this post we were on the lookout for Hugo's taco shop. We stopped in and had some carne taco's and bought a couple of his
paintings.
We brought home both the framed one that Hugo is displaying and the unframed flowers in a vase (left side of pic).

I also had a chance to meet Hugo Lopez at his Tacos Mision eatery. He is a very humble man who creates incredible artwork on canvas.

Price range??? mas o menos
Just curious what the price range is for his work,
some of it is really really good,
some is asi asi.
But, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder....
I think someone famous said that, but every time you give a quote cite someone looks it up on Google and finds out it was someone else who said it

His art is a smoking deal.... The framed one was $60 or 70.00 and the flower one was like 85.00.. The most expensive one I saw was about 230.00.. I
may buy it on the next trip..
