The Hidalgo de la Riva family in their Hayward home in the late 1980s. This photo shows the range of skin tones within the family. Lola's children don't all share the same father, but most were raised by the man in the red shirt named Luis Hidalgo who fathered Liz (in the pink shirt, bottom left). Tim (one of the twins) has his arms around Luis and Lola, and Osa in a red shirt at the bottom right.

The paint is brown and black with a veneer of green that comes from the wall behind the glass. Osa made a series of different goddesses of color.

She gave them to different significant people in her life (Angela Davis, and others)
A New Mexico-style sun derived from Zuni or Pueblo communitites. For Osa, it represent the four directions, four elements, and four seasons. It was likely made in Hayward.
