Whenever I travel, I always make an effort to find some kind of art, not only for my weekly Sunday Art Review series, but also for my own enjoyment and satisfaction. My trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico was no exception. When our cruise ship arrived in this picturesque city, I had a feeling that it would offer plenty for me to visually take in. In between margaritas, sightseeing and shopping, I spent some time enjoying a bit of culture in a few local galleries. This particular painting (at left) caught my eye. It is, of course Madonna, from her sultry-sex-for-power phase. Say what you will about Madonna, but that woman has definitely made an impact. The sculptures below were quite interesting. 
Above: a Zeus like man, who looks rather mighty and forceful.
above: Not only is this a naked man wearing a mask, but there are four dog sculptures surrounding him. I couldn't decide what I liked best.
above: So much to look at, I had to shoot it all. Try to scan down the row and the back shelf. I like the "face" sculpture at the far right.
above: the large abstract circle thingy was interesting, but I also liked the headless naked woman to the right. It was a pleasant morning, and a great way to enjoy another side of Mexico.
