The bullfighter Morante de la Puebla is shown in action as the bull makes a pass, This is a very famous spanish bull fighter. This is the second version of this subject. The bull has entered the shadow area and so has become mysterious and part of the shadow. He is like a monster from the void. All that shows of his head and shoulders is his eyes, nose and saliva. The crowd is painted as individuals, but colour wise blend into the purple sky. The cape and embroidered lights have a special depth and brilliance as they catch the light fully. To get this brilliance I used flourescent colours and muted them to fit in with normal pigmant. It is strangely full of both action and tranquility, hence the description of romaniticism.
It is painted in acrylic paint and inks on canvas frame with fully painted edges to give the painting greater depth. Consequently it can be mounted on the wall without a frame and looks great as an integral part of your wall.

I am an English paintier living in Mexico. At times it can seem to be a very crazy culture, but this makes it particularly exhilarating for me. Whilst in England everything happens behind closed doors, here it is much more on the street. It is a living culture with street parades, festivals, religious pilgrimages and street theatre. Queretaro is particularly rich in theatres and party places for children. Mexico is a melting pot of peoples including Spanish, Indigenous Indian Toltec and European/Americans (USA). We are at the meeting point of all the Americas. Drugs going north, guns coming south, illegal imigrants going north and United States industry moving south. Corruption, kidnapping, extortion and narco-gang-wars are rife. The costumes are colourful, the women are very womanly and sexy and the people fun-loving. There is much poverty, especially in the indiginous Indians who form the majority of the street sellers. Despite the corrupt laws, police and Caltholic church, the people can always smile with broad smiles and laugh at advercity. Every birthday is taken as an excuse for a party/fiesta. For me it is a painter's paradise. I am just surprized that it is relatively undiscovered and not more of a tourist attraction to Europeans.
