The arid lands of Brazil's northeast provides the setting for this inspired painting by Santos Silva. He paints of women, some with children, one carrying a tray of food on her head. They all have umbrellas to protect them from the scorching sun. Silva works with a mixed media of acrylics and cotton to achieve the admirable textures that distinguish his art. Titled Mulheres e guarda-chuvas in Portuguese.
