South Texas folklore

Home / South Texas folklore
A brightly colored painting of a curandera performing a healing in a bedroom. A woman in a red floral dress leans over a person lying in bed with a cloth on their forehead, sweeping a green palm frond across the turquoise bedspread. A boy in a horse-print shirt watches from the foot of the bed, resting his chin on his hands beside a red apple. Incense smoke rises from a blue can on the floor. The room holds an image of the Virgen de Guadalupe, a lit candle, family portraits on the wall, a sewing machine, and a window looking out onto green leaves.
