Arts: Pointsettia - Flor de Noche Buena
Arts This Christmas emblem is originally from Mexico. In its country of origin it's known as the Flor de Noche Buena. This striking red flower was exported in the early 1800s by Joel Poinsett, the first United States ambassador to Mexico. He promoted the flower internationally and throughout most of the world it is now known as Poinsettia.

Arts: Mojigangas
Arts Mojigangas—the irreverent, extravagant giant papier mâché puppets that bounce and flounce thru San Miguel streets for public festivals and private events—are some of the most colorful characters of the town.

Moustached red-faced devils, white-faced skeletons, blushing brides, flirting mantilla-decked señoritas and even a blonde gringa with exposed breast are some of the oversized personalities that bring sanmiguelenses, and visitors, a healthy dose of self-effacing laughter.

Arts: Jardín del Arte
Arts Last week, local authorities inaugurated a new art area called Jardín del Arte (the garden of art) within the Benito Juárez Park.

This new space for artists, represented by the local organization Amigos del Arte Contemporáneo de San Miguel, will offer a space to exhibit and sell art on weekends.

Arts: Watercolor Workshops by Graham Flatt
Arts
A painting must consist of both a solid understanding of design and composition, and passion in order to function properly. The difficulty is in a maintaining a delicate balance between the emotional, intuitive side of laying the paint down, and the logical, orderly side of design application.

Most paintings run into difficulty not because watercolor is a difficult medium. On the contrary, I find watercolor a wonderfully exciting and often forgiving medium to paint in. The difficulty comes from a lack of knowledge surrounding design and how to successfully apply that knowledge.

Graham Flatt is a western artist whose watercolors reflect his passion for painting. Primarily self-taught in the areas of design and composition, Flatt strives to maintain the delicate balance between his passion for watercolor and the logical orderly application of design. His dedication to watercolor painting has allowed him to move freely within the realm of watercolor and has ultimately resulted in his signature style of painting.

Flatt was awarded the Ralph "Tuffy" Berg award for the "Best New Artist' at the 2000 C.M. Russell Auction of Original Western Art in Great Falls, Montana.

Since then, Flatt has quickly emerged as one of Canada's top western watercolorists with numerous sold out shows throughout Canada and the United States.

Flatt was honoured as the "Featured Artist" at the 2001 Calgary Exhibition and Stampede.

Graham also enjoys teaching watercolor workshops around the country when he isn't busy in his Millet, Alberta studio. His website http://www.watercolorsbyflatt.com
