The one below is titled ‘Besam\u00c3\u00a9 Mucho’, oil on canvas panel 12″x12″. Literal translation: Kisses me a lot. While painting, I listened to the song from the CD ‘Jim Hall & Basses’<\/a>. It was written in 1940 by a young Mexican, Consuelo Vel\u00c3\u00a1zquez, before her sixteenth birthday.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Vel\u00c3\u00a1zquez, she was inspired by an aria from the Spanish 1916 opera ‘Goyescas’<\/em> by Enrique Granados.\u00c2\u00a0<\/a>
