THE SPIRIT OF VASQUEZ
24" x 36"
Acrylic on Canvas - 2003

Since the first time I visited Vasquez Rocks in Aqua Dulce I found the area to be beautiful and mysterious. Jagged outcroppings that look like a lunar landscape are said to have once hid the famous bandit Tiburcio Vasquez and his gang.

Vasquez is considered by some as the first Chicano social bandit who resisted the Anglo conquest of California.

It is said the treasure of Tiburcio Vasquez is still hidden among the outcroppings. It is reported that a curse is on the treasure, anyone finding it will go insane. One thing is for sure, the spirit of the outlaw still lives in the rocks and outcroppings of that area. This is the second painting I have done of Vasquez, the first was purchased by an anonymous collector. Purchase this artwork
