Guanajuato City-District Historic-Brilliant Day Drawing

GUANAJUATO, MEXICO The city has been designated as a masterpiece of human creative genius and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988. Today, Guanajuato is one of only 1.052 properties that have been given the distinction of being on the World Heritage List. The city is located in central Mexico in a narrow valley, which makes its streets narrow and winding. Most are alleys that cars cannot pass through, and some are long sets of stairs up the mountainsides. Many of the city’s thoroughfares are partially or fully underground. The historic center has numerous small plazas and colonial-era mansions, churches, and civil constructions built using pink or greenstone. It's known for its silver mining history and beautiful Baroque colonial architecture. Its network of narrow streets, alleyways and tunnels are typified by the Callejón del Beso (Alley of the Kiss), so named because the balconies are close enough for a couple to reach across and kiss. In a former granary, the Alhóndiga de Granaditas is an art and local history museum with pre-Columbian exhibits. Festival Cervantino The world-famous Festival Internacional Cervantino began in 1972 and is an annual cultural event, named in honor of Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. The festival hosts events such as opera, theater productions, film showings, art exhibitions, academic conferences and talks, concerts and dance recitals. The performances occur in 70 venues over most of October. Events are held throughout the city, with some in other locations such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, and San Miguel de Allende. The most important venue in Guanajuato for the festival is the Juárez Theater, which is on the Jardín de la Unión (Union Garden). Other important venues in the city are the Teatro Principal, the Cervantes Theater, Art Galleries, Museums, Cultural Foundations, and facilities of the University of Guanajuato.

These are original works of art that I have signed works on the front, sealed, and dated. I intend to capture the sensation and atmosphere that inspired my image. They represent an Ltd. Edition Giclée Series. The artwork has been printed on Archival quality textured paper. The Fineart paper used includes Washi, Kozo, Arches, and Hahnemühle. These papers were created from natural fibers such as Mulberry, Hemp, and Cotton for superb preservation. The Papers are warm, white, environmentally friendly, and acid-free. Some of The artworks have Deckled edges, making them suitable for floating over or under a matte. They are intimate and small in scale. I am passionate about scenic painting and the creative process. My work is influenced by the subtle nuances of light and texture that can be found in nature. I am inspired by the endless movement of water, wind, sunlight, reflections, and shadows....evolving textures ...and all that comes with the gorgeous, vibrant colors of nature...particularly as the sun rises and sets...
