Gary J. Kirkpatrick Art and Travel Blog
Expressionistic art
Another in the series of the “Pareja Enamorado con Amor/Couple in Love with Love” series explores the world of same sex love and romance.
Love takes many forms. We should not oppress it but encourage its flowering and deepen the bonds that hold us together.
Sitting in Plaza Santa Catarina (study for the watercolor). This was the first time I joined a group of local water color artists who meet on Wednesdays. Valencia has several watercolor groups who do urban or rural landscapes.
This is another version of my Panamanian friend. She was one of our Spanish teachers – they called them facilitators as they did not do formal teaching as much as immersion. Always friendly and in a great mood. It was only in the past year I learned she had trained as a model and was so good in front of a camera.

Go, Figures started life as a regular modeling session but in acrylics, not the usual way to go. It evolved into this. The background is inspired by František Kupka’s Mme Kupka (1910). He was a Czech artist and she his wife. I saw the painting at the Nieu Gallery in NYC, at a special exhibit that included some of Klimt’s famous paintings.

I was at my nephew’s house and he had this hat. It belonged to one of his friends. I guess he’s left it behind. I love these hats!
To see the entire painting clink on ‘Continue Reading’ or the post title. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
The music series continues. Five semi-realistic female figures will pale to blue-white skin perform. Four instruments are visible. One stairs straight ahead, eyes misaligned,another has eyes that are mere slits, two are in profile, three straight on, one wears what appears to be a glove, legs mingle, some disappear, arms there and not there.
Xylophone player at the Palau de la Musica, Valencia, Spain. Fun house floor suggests a departure from every day reality, meeting with the muse, traveling to the realm of creativity.
