You can visit it <a href="http://spanishpaintings.blogspot.com">here</a>. It will be similar to this Mexican paintings blog except it will be mainly about Spanish paintings. However, sometimes I will talk about Mexican paintings on it. Mostly just in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">beginning</span> to get started. I hope you check it out!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9113907910020489609-3342260134728168431?l=mexicanpaintings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Country Paintingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11160903588974969790noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113907910020489609.post-39769217672622806762009-04-01T11:43:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:51:01.826-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F1greodnIbA/SdO2eZAC4eI/AAAAAAAAACM/Yi_RHLv0tOA/s1600-h/diego.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F1greodnIbA/SdO2eZAC4eI/AAAAAAAAACM/Yi_RHLv0tOA/s320/diego.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319796218078093794" /></a>This is another one of my favorite Mexican Paintings.  It was done by Diego Rivera.  He was a very prolific artists and produced many great paintings.  Even though he is famous for his murals I enjoy almost all of his work.  When researching famous Mexican paintings Rivera always comes up, again and again.  Yet I never get tired of looking at his beautiful work.  I particularly enjoy this image because of the message I believe it tells.  The painting will mean something different to everyone, so I'll let you decide what it means to you!  Stay tuned for more updates on famous Mexican paintings and art!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9113907910020489609-3976921767262280676?l=mexicanpaintings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Country Paintingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11160903588974969790noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113907910020489609.post-80759296743181873952009-01-31T13:22:00.001-08:002009-01-31T13:26:25.810-08:00All of the time that I've spending thinking and researching Mexican paintings and art has made me want to create some art or a painting of my own. I decided to not be too picky about what type or anything and just let my creativity flow. I've been addicted to Astarte's Mega-Zine. I can't even explain how cool all of the issues are. For those of you who don't know Astarte's Mega-Zine is an online magazine is stuffed full of art tips and information about art and paintings. You can check them out <a href="http://mrjeffpape.clickety24.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">here</a> or click the image at the bottom. I have found all of their issues to be really helpful. Right now I don't think I'm good enough to post pictures of any of my attempts at Mexican painting and arts, but maybe soon. I would definitely recommend you check out Astarte's Mega-Zine, its very inexpensive and definitely full of lots of helpful things and a great deal. I can't want for the next issue.<div><br /><a href="http://mrjeffpape.clickety24.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"> <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F1greodnIbA/SYS_2oJ4WWI/AAAAAAAAACE/ahLK1H7g9Rc/s320/Astarte%27s+Mega-Zine.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 63px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297570006907246946" /></a></div><a href="http://mrjeffpape.clickety24.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9113907910020489609-8075929674318187395?l=mexicanpaintings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Country Paintingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11160903588974969790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113907910020489609.post-72471746900598773642009-01-28T11:15:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:40:27.477-08:00 <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F1greodnIbA/SYCxtwez0SI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyvcusnLbrI/s1600-h/Diego+Rivera+Mural+National+Palace.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 188px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F1greodnIbA/SYCxtwez0SI/AAAAAAAAAAg/OyvcusnLbrI/s320/Diego+Rivera+Mural+National+Palace.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296428561454059810" /></a><div>When one thinks of famous Mexican Painters the first person that comes to mind is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">usually</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Diego</span> Rivera.  That is if any name comes to mind!
