This lively 12” x 12” mid-century work depicts a group of musicians in wide-brim hats surrounded by trumpets, arches, and warm architectural details. Painted in rich watercolor and ink on textured paper, the piece has a rhythmic, folk-art quality that feels both whimsical and sophisticated.

The artist’s palette of ochres, blues, greens, and warm browns reflects the mid-century Mexican folk art style and Latin American watercolor traditions of the 1960s–70s. The subject matter and stylized figures are strongly reminiscent of Southwestern and Mexican genre scenes, making it a striking decorative and collectible work.

A charming, atmospheric artwork ideal for collectors of mid-century watercolor, folk art, Latin American–inspired art, or music-themed figurative paintings. Ready to frame in any style you choose.
