Story / Additional InfoThe artist's signature images are found in this painting- a window with the sea, cactus, magnolia and a statue of an angel. The artist was intrigued by the late afternoon light in this still life scene which created elongated shadows of the cactus on the concrete wall. The cactus and angel are symbolic of the artist's Hispanic heritage and the magnolia represents her maternal Anglo side, her mother being from the south. This was painted for a series of works shown in the Merced multicultural art museum.
