San Pasqual by Carolyn Bunch — Acrylic on Amate Bark Paper
This original folk art painting by Carolyn Bunch features a joyful depiction of San Pasqual, the patron saint of the kitchen, beloved for watching over cooks and culinary efforts. Painted in acrylic on authentic amate bark paper, the work captures a whimsical San Pasqual holding red chile pods, flanked by kitchen utensils, and wearing a radiant halo and robe. The painting is signed “C. Bunch” at the lower right and includes a descriptive biography affixed to the verso.
Amate is a traditional handmade paper crafted from the bark of wild fig, nettle, and mulberry trees, with deep roots in Otomi and Nahua communities of Mexico. Its textured, organic quality lends warmth and authenticity to the folk art tradition.
Framed without glass in a rustic wooden frame with warm-hued matting, this piece is a heartwarming cultural accent, perfect for kitchens, devotional spaces, or collectors of Southwestern and Mexican folk art.
Condition:
Good condition overall. Matting is visibly rippled, but the artwork remains unaffected and displays vibrant color. No glass is present in the frame. See images for details.
Dimensions:
Framed size: 13 1/2 x 10 inches
Visible image: 8 x 5 inches
