Product Review Image

I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

Artist's Description

The main reason for stringing and hanging dried chili peppers (chile) in this way is to preserve them for later use in cooking. However, in the Southwest, ristras are popular decorator accents as well as being practical storage solutions. Here a string hangs from the overhead wood framing of a patio pergola in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The strong shadows cast by the midday sun create complex and interesting patterns on the stucco wall, and the bright red of the ristra contrasts nicely with the black and white background.
The image is also available in color in my The Southwest - New Mexico gallery.

Tied for 3rd place in the June 2014 Colorkey Selective Color contest
