Muerta retablo. This piece is a bit larger than the other Flores Original Muerta collectables. This is a hand painted acrylic piece. The colors are bright and whimsical. This piece is signed, sealed and ready to hang. The muchacha in the painting is the most fancy hairdresser in Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico). She absolutely "loves" her job! She is not only a hairdresser but a hair-cologist as well. If you have a problem she has the answer. She has all of the latest gossip, stories and advice. Her hair is a beautiful metallic bronze and she has such a whimsical face that makes you smile. Prints of this piece are available for purchase. Dia de los muertos is a traditional observance in Mexico and other Latin America countries that remind us to celebrate those who have passed on. November 1st and 2nd the cemeteries are full of visitors who clean and decorate their loved gravesites with flowers, candles, favorite mementos and foods, creating altars, and spending time reminiscing, singing and visiting in a happy festive way.
