We are so glad and proud to share the great news that our newest member of the Padilla household has made his appearance after months of excited expectations! MiguelAngelo, was born on Wednesday July 14 @ 12:47 pm…and he tipped the digital scales at 6 lbs and 9 ozs, with an overall length of 18”. Quite a bit of personality wrapped into such a small package but he certainly is a keeper.

So many family and friends have seen his cute face on FaceBook and e-mail postings but we share a few pictures here with our extended family as well. We look forward to many more wonderful years with each of our children, what a blessing little ones bring into our lives…hugs yours today!

We are excited and practically beside ourselves in sharing the good news that Padilla of San Felipe has a new member of its family business that will debut during Red Earth 2010!

“KATISHTYA TRAILS MERCANTILE, LLC”.

This new expansion of Padilla, brings the opportunity to offer a wider array of not only Padilla designed products and merchandise, but it also opens possibilities to present the selection of home décor & fashions, jewelry, arts & crafts supplies, and our new feature “Mobile Packing & Framing”.

As an artist who spends a lot of time on the road and away from the shop/studio, we realized that we weren’t the only ones in that situation. So we packed our portable framing equipment into the trailer, and brought along the ability to offer packaging to buyers and artists at these shows and festivals.

With that approach, we continue to make our services available to our artist friends on the road, and to allow buyers to purchase with confidence as we provide the means to safeguard their newly acquired treasures with boxes, cartons, and packaging materials on site!

You are welcome to stop by our new booth and see what we mean by “on-site services”. An array of box sizes and prices to fit almost every situation, and if we don’t have it, we can build it.

Remember that name! “KATISHTYA TRAILS MERCANTILE”

“Fly Like an Eagle” by Padilla of San Felipe © 2010  65”x 84”

 From uncertain feelings and personal circumstances in 2009, an image was birthed from these words, “Becoming One”. A quest towards spiritual healing and emotional freedom guided my thoughts to decide that the eagle epitomized my longing to fly and soar above negativity.

The eagle symbolizes so much for Native American cultures, representing the highest form of honor and blessings. Through this artwork I seek to pay homage and respect to the Heavenly Creator for those blessings we receive daily from His hand…and I want to fly.

This original is an ongoing project, awaiting the stained glass features and a free standing display framework that will increase the dimensions to 6’x 8’.

Created as a mixed media artform utilizing: canvas, Masonite, Plexiglas, Pendleton fabric, bone, leather, glass beads, clay, acrylic, wire, and stained glass.

Price: $15,000

If you are interested in purchasing this piece, please contact us directly so that we can arrange appropriate delivery of the piece due to its large size.

“Playful Afternoon” by Padilla of San Felipe © 2010, collage 12”x 20” matted

 Pronghorns have always been a favorite creature of mine, small in stature but gifted majestically as grace in motion. I’ve watched these dainty creatures play all by themselves but the fun and games really start when a winged friend shows up.

 A collage of reproduction cut outs mounted on metallic matboard, with stenciled and splattered background colors, some sagebrush added and sealed with decoupage.

 Price: $275 matted, unframed

“Three Brothers Dancing” by Padilla of San Felipe © 2010, collage 31½” x 22½” image size.

Every once in awhile I create a piece in honor and out of longing for my two younger brothers who now exist in the spiritual realm of our Heavenly Creator. Adam, the youngest always followed Joe and they played so well as brothers, I miss seeing that but the images remain strong in my heart. They always went places together, how fitting that they are still doing that. Both unique and extremely gifted individuals who had the ability to bring smiles to peoples faces with their humor and presence. And I want to dance with them so much, because my love for them draws me to that…and so right now, I satisfy myself by dancing with them on this piece.

Collaged reproduction cutouts with stenciled images and splattered background glazed in various colors, collaged border design is reproduction cutout. Acrylic, ink, decoupage.

 Price:Unframed $900

“New Red Shoes” by Padilla of San Felipe © 2010, Mixed media collage 26” x 38” framed

After receiving a gift of new moccasins from her grandfather, she is so happy she shares her joy with the hummingbird, and they begin to dance. From our Heavenly Father (the red hand) comes blessings into our lives, accordingly, from our lives (the purple hand) blessings should be shared with others…and the dance continues.

Created as a mixed media for Red Earth, this original incorporates: matboards, Masonite, monotype printing, Pendleton fabric, clay, glass beads, shells, silver buttons, copper foil, glass tile, fabrics, acrylics, wire, and art foam.

 Price: $3000
