Visit to Picasso
Currently there’s an excellent exhibit of Picasso drawings at Banc Caja in Valencia. I did this painting afterwards.

This is based on a pen and ink miniature, with many elements of fantasy.

This part of the “Pareja Enamorado con Amor/Couple in Love with Love” series explores the world of same sex love.
Women Embrace 1
Love takes many forms. We should not oppress it but encourage its flowering and deepen the bonds that hold us together.
Waiting for the Concert
Waiting for the Concert at the Small Hall in the Palau de la Musica, Valencia.
Continuing with the music and Palau themes, here I use a palette knife to dress the audience awaiting the concert. The Palau has a small concert hall in the basement. We listen to some local traditional Valencian music. Below the painting you will find a link to a video I shot at a local fair with some examples of the squeaky instruments we listened to. You hear them during the many parades you can see in the city.
