Painting: "No. 2, The Barrio. Tile Series" Donated to Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation

I dropped off the painting "No. 2, The Barrio. Tile Series" by the SAAF offices today near downtown Tucson.

More information about this particular painting can be found here on the blog using the "Labels" over to the right of this page.

The painting will be included in the benefit's live auction and extravaganza, highlight of which will be the Jell-O Wrestling.

I hope the painting does well at the live auction, and that someone will enjoy it for many years to come.

We were made aware of this special event by our friends Steve and Margie. Margie will once again participate this year as part of one of the wrestling teams.

Margie Dominguez's Jell-O Wrestling 2012

2012 marks the 25th Anniversary of one of SAAF's most beloved events, Jell-O Wrestling. Since its inception, Jell-O Wrestling has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the programs and services of the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation and the people we serve.

By sponsoring a wrestler, you not only show your support for a friend but also your support for SAAF and the hope that someday we will realize a community with NO NEW INFECTIONS...PERIOD

Jell-O Wrestling will take place on Saturday May 12, 2012 at Kennedy Fiesta Park in Tucson Arizona. Pre-party starts at 3:00pm and the wrestling and live auction kick-off at 4:00pm.

No. 2, The Barrio. Tile Series. This One is a Bit Larger and Very Colorful.

This colorful painting was inspired by the many rich colors of Tucson's Barrio District. The tough decisions started with where to begin when choosing only the handful of colors used. Colors like these contained in the painting can be found mingled together on exterior adobe walls, door and window trims, and other details of homes and businesses in the Barrio. Often the same colors can even be found painted on interior spaces giving them a lively southwest flare inside. In this particular painting, the green shades at the bottom were added to give the painting that touch of "cactus" color. Cactus of all kind is often the main focal point of the natural desert landscape in the Barrio (after the paint colors of choice that is).
