San Miguel de Allende



San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city in Mexico’s central highlands, is known for its baroque Spanish architecture and cultural festivals. This is one of a number that Dick painted from his trek there.

This calle, lightly sprinkled with las personas, has an early morning feel about it. A worker with cart and woman with child are on their mission. While a man stands and waits at a corner building.

Dick’s colors are bolder, more in character with the culture. Rich earthy ancient colors imbedded in the brick and stone work. The shadows in the archway on right are filled with mysterious blue. There is more here than meets the eye.
