"Magdalena" 2019 Bomba y Plena series of Small Works

Update: (Now SOLD) I finished this piece from my bomba y plena series of small paintings and I’m pretty pleased with how she came out. A few months back I bought some pieces of linen I hand stretched, sized (primed), and then mounted onto pieces of 5” x 7” mdf panels (see photos). There’s something much more intimate and satisfying about the laborious process of creating your own painting surfaces rather than buying a canvas panel off of the store shelf.⠀

As usual, I’m stumped on a title. Unless it’s a commission or a piece that’s extremely specific, I always have trouble with titles. At this point, I think it’s an excellent and appropriate idea for the viewer(s) to assign a name to a piece. Any thoughts on a title? I’m open to any ideas that intuitively feel “right”.⠀

This piece is available now on my website under ART PRINTS

OPENING NIGHT AT THE QUEENS NIGHT MARKET

The opening night of the Queens Night Market was electric and awesome! The vast majority of vendors who attended were by far, food vendors. But we had more than a few customers who purchased my most popular NYC and Puerto Rico prints. We even ended up selling out of my Gratitude card sets! This was a wonderful event we were happy to be apart of! Check out a NY Times article on the Queens Night Market here
