The Hispanic Arts Building at the New Mexico State Fair is not a favorite, usually, tilting way too far towards dancing skulls, and bleeding martyrs, but this time, the largest piece on display caught my attention.
Now-- many people do not linger on the "supper" aspect of TLS, but we foodies do. And here is a hardcarved table, with painted chairs for each participant, commemorating that breaking of bread. It's the work of three members of one family, Robert, Desmond and Roberto Gonzales, the painting employs natural pigments, and the price tag is $35,000.
What a gorgeous set, and an amazing conception in the first place. Wish I could see it with my own eyes.
Thanks for sharing.
