Hope in Fresno

This painting is from one of the holiday cards I received this year. It's called "Capitán América vela por nosotros" (Captain America watches over us), and it's by Puerto Rican artist María Dolores Rodríguez. It's an homage to those traditional votive painting thanking a particular saint such as the Virgin of Guadalupe. The translation of the inscription is "Thanks to the vigilante Captain America our party has peace and harmony". It's nice to think of a superhero watching over us like a patron saint!
