The oddness of this scene, dominated by the maguey, reminds me of the exquisite little painting by Uccello in the Musee Jacquemart-Andre in Paris. He using the dragon, does that make me the damsel in distress?. I have been able to navigate this rather complicated painting quite well. My conclusion about my little studio in Mexico is that it does not force any compromises on me that diminishes what or how I paint. I could even continue painting the existing size paintings that I was doing in the UK. Very happy with this painting, being the first one ever in Mexico.
Man and maguey. Day 5
