I enjoy the art deco lines and festive colors of Fiesta ware pottery. It's a great challenge for subtle shadings. On Saturday nights, a Mariachi band practices in one of the buildings in my neighborhood. The sound fills the street with cheer and I can't help but smile and do a little cha cha to my door. I did this drawing in their honor.

The original was done in ink and Prismacolor colored pencil on archival board.

Paper has a memory. If rolled, it tries to go back to that, even when framed, thus causing ripples. For that reason, I ship flat to insure a pristine print.
