Día de los Muertos Celebrations
Although images of skeletons, skulls, and coffins dominate the decorations for both Halloween and Día de los Muertos, Day of the Dead celebrations favor honoring deceased loved ones over candy-fueled parties and kiddie costume parades. The tradition spans on two days of posthumous tributes including altars, gatherings, and loving offerings. Music, food, and festive processions all play a part in this annual ritual commemorating life and embracing death.

An invitation for you.
I have been asked to do an art demo for the Huntington Beach Art League on Wednesday, November 1st.
So I am working, preparing for that. It will be at the beautiful, new HB Senior
Center on Goldenwest off of the 405 freeway. It starts at 7 PM and done
by 8:30. HBAL asked to to post this on my blog and invite anyone
that is interested. It's free, you don't have to be a member to attend.
It's a great group, I've been a member since 1999. I will be working
with about 6+ messed-up canvases and try to finish or at least improve
them. To show the recycling of canvases using gessos, collage and acrylic.
Maybe I'll see you there?

That's a wonderful way to celebrate and honor our deceased loved. I think they would prefer it to how we do it here with a visit to the grave, some flowers and candles - that's only sad.
Thanks for these news , they are really 2GN2S!
Thank you, Elenor!
I( think it used to be hat q=way, but I remember some bringing food, so there was eating after. Now, here the3y are opting for a memorial or celebration of their life. Demura Sensei had a memorial service because more than attended.
Very strong piece. The red is amazing.
Thank you, John. There is a story there?
