Santa Muerte - This piece is in honor of the Day of the Dead holiday, and features the the beautiful Santa Muerte - a rising star in the folk religions of Mexico. A rather non-traditional saint, she is often embraced by the likes of gangsters, prostitutes, and politicians, as well as housewives and just regular folks who want to get a favor from her! Shrines to Santa Muerte are often elaborate, featuring an effigy of the saint (with her skull face and Virgin Mary symbolism) and offerings like tequila, tobacco, fruits, eggplants, candies, and small trinkets. I've portrayed this in my painting by including lots of items associated with her. It's really a pretty cool piece. It's also quite large - 16"x20" - acrylic painting on canvas.
