Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Day of the Dead, or Dia de Los  Muertos in Spanish ,   is a  Mexican  holiday which  focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. It begins on October 31 and ends on November 2. Altars  are built which contain the favorite foods and beverages, as well as photos and memorabilia, of the departed.  You will see there are several festivals where the holiday is celebrated. This, as well as many of my other paintings are available on  FineArtAmerica.com  as prints and other merchandise.  Visit my website at  www.melissaatorresart.com . Feel free to contact me via   email  for any questions and for commissioned work.
