Señorita Bonita 30x22 wc
There’s nothing like the parades, fiestas and celebrations in Mexico. They really know how to do it. This beautiful young lady in her dazzling red dress was riding horseback in a parade. Her dress was so full and so flowing that, with the exception of the horse’s legs a little bit of it’s neck and head, she appeared to be floating through the streets. I can only guess that sometime in the past a family would dress up their beautiful daughters to parade them through the streets, as if to show off what they had to offer the best suitors. In fact, I’m sure something like that was going on here, as the fellow riding on her left seem to stay very close, keeping at bay the young men who were whistling and shouting things I didn’t understand. All I can tell you is, she was getting a lot of attention. Even I thought she looked like a painting.
