Mexican Independence Heroes

Feliz Dieciséis de Septiembre! Happy 16th of September (Mexican Independence Day)!

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla

This is a portrait I made of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, (Also known As El Padre De La Patria “The Father of The Fatherland”) leader of the Mexican war of independence.

Mis Raíces

A while back I asked my wife Anita to dress up as Frida and pose for me so I could take some photos as a reference for a painting. This portrait is the result. I gave it to her for her birthday. She gave it the title, “Mis Raíces”.

Reading the Word

I painted this portrait of my father-in-law, Chano De la Rosa (May he Rest In Peace) a few month ago, but I wanted to mention him this Father’s Day as a great example of a father, father-in-law, grandfather and a true man of God. It was a common sight to see him reading the Word of God. I know he is rejoicing now with our Heavenly Father!
“Like a father feels compassion for his children— that’s how the LORD feels compassion for those who honor him.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:13‬
