More Mexican Folk Art
August 4, 2009
A few weeks ago, Mike and I wandered into a local resale/antique mini-mall type store to peruse a friend’s booth of records, cds, etc. Right next to his booth, I spied a multi-colored intriguing large wood panel with what looked to be yarn comprising the imagery. Like my Huichol yarn painting.
So of course I got a little closer to the panel, I actually got real close to the panel to inspect what was indeed a Huichol yarn painting on plywood.
A large panel, it measures 49″ wide by 24″ tall. If you’ve read my blog before, you know I have a thing for Huichol art so you already know that I snapped that painting right up.
I love the imagery, it’s as if the small figures from the yarn painting that I already have have been enlarged onto this painting. I haven’t hung it in the house yet, right now it just sits on an easel in my studio for inspiration.
Enjoy.

I read your blog and I found myself in a similiar situation. I was out thrift shopping when I cam across a large picture sitting on the floor, I loved the colors and brought it home and started doin research on the yarn painting. I know nothing about this and on the back was writting from the artis and he told the story of the picture. It is writtn in Spanish so I really cant read it. I believe it was make in Noyarit Mixico and on the front has the writting of S.M.C do you know how I can get any info on the artist? or maybe you might know of him. I believe the first name might start with an M..I would really appreciate an info you could spare. ThankYou so much..Majbrit Clarke

Gee Majbrit,
I don’t know that much about the Huichol yarn painting artists. Check the links in this post of mine: http://pattihaskins.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/mexican-folk-art-3/ there are lots of resources for information there.
Good luck and enjoy your find!
