Clotide, your work is the kind of thing people will look at in a hundred years and say...."So that's the way it was"! Wonderful work!
Alfred Motzer
To be honest, Clotilde, all your paintings are gorgeous, but I was looking for a painting without psychology, without psychoanalytic depth, ..but even in this seemingly idyllic painting you can see the social conflict between poor and rich,.. you are surely right,..we should look deeper and we should realize the problems in our world, you are showing us so masterly in your artwork... v/f
Clotilde Espinosa replied:
I thank you so much Alfred...I will tell you a story that happened many years ago...my husband who had an Anglo mother had family in Idaho where many migrant Mexican labor find jobs in the fields. Since I was born in Mexico in a well to do family my husband's cousin, an older woman, told us we were not Mexicans but Spaniards...It hurt me so much I remember it very clearly..There, in her lands we use to see this scenes and have done more like this.

Outstanding. I like the way you've made the *work area* warm and the area beyond cooler as if it's the reward after a day of hard labor.

How I love the feeling you have achieved in this rich and resonant work! I feel the heat, the sweat, the sore muscles and aching bones, but also the solace of togetherness in the gorgeous landscape. A musical and enchanting work! v/f

Sometimes I want to have a rest from my sentimental life and explore my memories. Thank you and best wishes William.
