Thank you!! I Am so glad you like them....Hi Cassy,<br /><br />Thank you!! I Am so glad you like them. To answer your question. I am Bolivian, well technically half Bolivian:) But I feel fully Bolivian, because out of all of the nationalties I am, which are a few, it is the one I feel the most connected with. I have visited Bolivia a few times and I photograph the Cholita and their daily activities and admire their culture. Everyone around them has adapted to "regular" clothing, yet the cholitas continue to wear traditional clothing, like their long braids, bowler hats and colorful clothing. Painting them makes me feel closer to my culture and brings me a little bit if Bolivia in my home and heart wherever I go. So I hang the art around me. Thank you for the question:) and visiting my blog!!PeachyCheekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535445685736200717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326149347401045654.post-88388214401877604112010-07-04T11:19:40.742-04:002010-07-04T11:19:40.742-04:00I love the cholita up at the top of your blog, and...I love the cholita up at the top of your blog, and the one you're working on now.
