The Skagit County Historical Museum — Attraction in La Conner

I found these paintings so exciting and familiar to Hawaiian artist Yvonne Cheng, yet Mr. Guillen's art is bursting with warmth and color even Ms. Cheng at times struggles to capture. These paintings brought back loads of great memories of the Merida community and the people at the hacienda of Santa Rosa. His family must be so proud and I'm grateful for the folks who allowed their Jesus Guillen art to be shared at the museum. Fantastically...
