8"X10"
I painted this scene a couple of weeks ago in oil on location in the cool, hip village of Madrid, New Mexico. I also took photos, most of which were pretty spectacular. This one however, was not. It was overexposed and after I printed it, I got paint all over it. BUT, I always think of Madrid as colorful and beautiful - a really fun place to go on a day trip. So, I improvised and embellished. And I consider this acrylic version, "MY MADRID," the real one because this is how I see it. Colorful, kind of like a circus, and somewhere you just go to hang out, shop, and get away for the day.
I will not have a new daily painting post until Sunday night or Monday. Enjoy your weekend!
Dee, I just love your work! The lines keep me searching for details, and your color choices are so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteDee - I loved the oil and didn't think it could get any better but this is wonderful. Love your description of Madrid - colorful kind of like a circus - thats perfect! It really is - I'll have to dig up my favorite picture of Dana and I taken in Madrid and post it.
