There you will find photos of various Fallas (foam and wooden sculptures often satirical in nature and up to 75′ tall) as well as a video of the amazing street lights which are also famous, and the sound and light shows they do nightly during Fallas (March 1-19 each year).

Site changes
December 4, 2014
I can no longer add photos to this site and so I my future posts with photos will post on my art website where I have 20 gigs to work with. I will be forwarding your sign up over there and the one here will remain as well. If that arrangement is not to your liking just let me know.
The site is garyjkirkpatrick.com. There are links to the Art blog or you can use
http://www.garyjkirkpatrick.com/#!blog/cxhw
There you will find photos, and this blog which will be written here but will appear on the website as well so you see both in one place. There is a comment section, which can also post to facebook. My web provider does not have a link to google plus.
Hope you enjoy!

What I have been up to
Our first 6 weeks in Rome were a busy time. We had a visitor from Valencia, Enid, who is an American actually. She was here for a week. Then came a couple from the US. He and go back a long ways. And then came Cal. He was married to Peg back in the 70’s and we’ve been keeping up at least since Peg and I married in 1983. I was not until late October that I was able to devote much time to art.
I have recently moved my website to one independent of the gallery representing me, Xanadu (https://www.xanadugallery.com/home.php) This allows me much greater freedom to post my work.
