Real de Catorce, SLP Mexico


9x12" Cold, cold day. This ghost town was a minig town. The main metal was silver. This town was so important that they started to  make their own coins! This is now a museum. In this town was filmed the movie La Mexicana, with Brat Pitt and Julia Roberts!

The chair at "John Chris" Barbershop. SLP Mexico

5x8" This is a wonderful chair from the1960´s at a barbershop on Nicolás Zapata Ave in San Luis Potosi. My husband likes to be shaved. It´s like a SPA moment for him.  I could admired the beauty of this empty chair while waiting.  It´s originality is the closest I have found so far since I saw that carved wood barber chair from the 1930's in downtown Mérida. I regrettably did not sketched. Oh well.... live and learn.
