Are the following sentences correct? ¡Gracias!

Mi favorito artista de murales mexicano es Diego Rivera. Me gusta Rivera porque su arte captura el momento y es muy tradicional.

What I am trying to say: My favorite Mexican muralist is Diego Rivera. I like Rivera because his art captures the moment and is very traditional.

Thanks for your reply. Does this sound better?

Mi favorito muralista de mexicano es Diego Rivera. Me gusta Rivera porque su arte captura el momento y es muy tradicional.

Words were rearranged by chileno which you've put back the way they were. Try the first sentence once again.

How is this?
Mi muralista favorito de mexicano es Diego Rivera. Me gusta Rivera porque su arte captura el momento y es muy tradicional.

Rusty September 06, 2010 10:11 PM

Better, but there is still an extra word in there.

Rusty September 06, 2010 10:20 PM

Nope, you still want the determiner 'mi'. There's another word that isn't needed.

¡Eso! :thumbsup:

richard148 September 06, 2010 10:29 PM

¡Bien! The next sentence looks good?

Rusty September 06, 2010 10:36 PM

Yes.

If the first sentence seems like too much of a mouthful, you could write:
Diego Rivera es mi muralista mexicano favorito. -or-
Mi muralista favorito de México es Diego Rivera.

Thanks so much for your help!

¡No hay de qué!
