"Skull-Candy For Day Of The Dead"
20in x 28in, oil , aluminum leaf on linen, © Linda Falorio 1995 .

              This painting was inspired by some photos that Fred took when we visited The Museum of Mankind, in London. There, we happened upon an exhibit celebrating the rites of Day of the Dead as observed in Mexico, and many such elaborately decorated spun-sugar skulls were part of the festive displays.
