A Springtime Trip to New York City... Streetscenes and Sorolla

Last weekend I traveled to New York City to give my son, Bryan a big hug. He's been working there a few months and it was time for a visit. It was a rainy spring weekend filled with Color and Inspiration. Daffodils, Umbrellas, Yellow Cabs...

Reflections of Benches and People walking their dogs.... on a Saturday morning...

 







Later we took the subway to Spanish Harlem to the Hispanic Society of America to see Sorolla's Vision of Spain Paintings. I would highly recommend it!

As we stood in front of these magnificent paintings,  I tried to absorb just a small amount of the brilliance!

Thanks Bryan for the wonderful weekend!

Here is a link to the museum... it was an awesome experience! http://www.hispanicsociety.org/ I hope you take the time to see it the next time you are in the city!

Enjoy Spring! Inspiration is everywhere you look!

New paintings inspired by Sorolla and Madrid

After seeing Sorolla's magnificent work in Madrid, I was able to purchase through a very generous person, the book : Joaquin Sorolla The Painter by Edmund Peel which is now one of my most cherished reference books. I am in awe of the light, color and dynamic images integrated into his amazing paintings. Here are two of my most recent paintings "Cafe con leche" and "Parque del Retiro"  I am excited about the direction that they are going....

Inspiration by Joaquin Sorolla

Our trip to Madrid, Spain in March changed my life! One artist in particular has influenced my art in so many ways. We were able to see his studio and home. Hope you are inspired too! Here are some of my favorite painting!

Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida (February 27, 1863 - August 10, 1923) was a Spanish painter, born in Valencia, who excelled in the painting of portraits, landscapes, and monumental works of social and historical themes.
