Mexican Folk Art Hare with Birds Candleholder painting of boy With their great tall hats

With their great tall hats and white buttons all down their fronts

This seems to me the sort of drawing that should inspire a novel--or

and the wonderfully fine graphic patterns on both

with a few green paint drips along the side

Spilling forth  are what appear to be vines to the right

Mexican Folk Art Hare with Birds Candleholder painting of boy With their great tall hatsI'm always on the hunt for vintage Mexican folk art animals of any sort, and all the better if they are candleholders, too! I really love this hare with its tall ears, painted whiskers and smiling red mouth, plus this pair of sweet little yellow birds riding on its back. The red and green color scheme of its base and blanket make it perfect for the holiday table though I'd keep it there year round! 6" t x 6 1 2" l x 2 3 4" w. Great vintage condition,
