Mexican Saddles
The exhibit Art en la Charreria: The Artisanship of the Mexican Equestrian Culture shows incredibly ornate and intricate design work in these Mexican saddles — exquisite detailing and fine craftsmanship of tooling leather, spurs and ironwork — all attire of the Mexican cowboys in the early 20th century.
This also reminds me and parallels the exhibit that my husband and I just recently saw at the National Gallery of Art on Spanish armory, The Art of Power, Royal Armor and the Portraits of Imperial Spain.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
