The landscapes and both natural and man-made aspects of Mexico are rich with patterns, textures, shades and colors — warm brown, straw-pocked adobe, aged and worm-holed wood, ancient hand-worked stone, moldering red brick, chipped, peeling paint and plaster, rocks alive with moss and flowers and sprouts of vegetation — vines curling around weathered posts, walls of prickly cacti, the lines of red-tiled roofs and fences.
Traveling around the country has afforded us ample opportunity to document some of these picturesque scenes – glimpses that seem to be fabricated more from the strokes of an artists paintbrush than from normal, daily living; doorways that lead to unusual surprising vistas and walls and fences that appear as divisions in time rather than space.
Join us on a pictorial tour of the luxuriant textures and impromptu impressions of Mexico.
