Sugar Skull #1 - 12" X 12" Canvas

This painting by Tracy Weinzapfel is a vibrant depiction of a sugar skull, often associated with the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The skull is painted in white with intricate black linework forming floral and swirl patterns. The eye sockets are filled with bright blue flowers, and the forehead features a small red cross. The nose is a red heart shape, and the teeth are carefully outlined, giving the skull a whimsical, decorative appearance.

The skull is surrounded by red roses with green leaves, adding depth and richness to the composition. The background is a deep, textured red, which enhances the contrast with the white skull and adds a sense of warmth to the piece.
