Reminds me of the GORGEOUS painting that takes center stage in this living room:

I've never seen this traditional Mexican textile depicted in a painting before. Not sure if the artist intended an Otomi motif, but it looks like it to me.
The scale of the painting makes the room, don't you think? I love how it overlaps the wainscoting and touches the crown molding. And it makes everything else in the room look perfect together.
On a side note, when I was recently in Mexico, I really had to hold back on buying a zillion dollars worth of Otomi linens at the airport. They are so so beautiful in person!

I love this! I never knew these prints were called Otomi. Now I know what to look for! Thanks.. great post.
ReplyDeleteI love that living room and fell in love with these textiles after winning a pillow on a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSomeone would have had to hold me back from purchasing it too.
ReplyDeleteThe art is beautiful. I'd love to know more about it. I like that it has touches of pastel as many time the mulit-colored Otomi I see has just brights.
That art is amazing, I would love something like that in my living room! Otomis are my favorite and love how Anna uses them in various places, hence a lamp shade.
