#21 / Catalan Clouds
I did a painting on Friday
(#20) but couldn’t get it posted, so I shall post it during this week.
We are lucky enough to be
(relatively) close to Spain
to the West and also to Italy
to the East. This is a painting of clouds over Cataluña, an area we have
visited a number of times whilst we have been living in France and a fiercely proud region fighting for
independence from Spain.
We have practiced our ‘Adeo’s’ and are not quite sure if we should say ‘gratheeas’ or ‘graseeas’, still, they put up with our fumbling efforts and if all
else fails we communicate in French as they are so used (particularly on the
border between France and Cataluña) to French tourists booze cruising over
the border and back again.
I
tried to paint this mostly with a palate knife so that I didn’t get bogged down
by detail, only being more precise with the shadows the clouds cast on the
mountains and hills in the distance.
