This is a large painting that I created for Day of the Dead. The original skull design was taken from a book of mysteries from the 30's, and really lends itself to the 'happy dead' motif. I took about an hour to paint this one. I really rushed so that it would retain the homemade feel of most DotD iconography.
The flowers which are in the eyesocket and lower corners of the painting are crepe paper flowers typical of DotD shrines.
