Another AWARD: Cill Rialaig

Image
I have won another award. It is an Art Residence in my beloved IRELAND! The problem is that they are offering me the residence during the month of October, which happens to be the month where I will be in Spain, because as you might remember, thanks to the Unesco Aschberg competition I was awarded with the III Millenium Award for an Art Residence in Albacete, Spain next October. I will try to change the dates. Wish me luck

Ocher oil

I liked this painting.... (if you click on the image you will be able to see details) although today ochers didn't allow me to cook and I had no other choice than to feed my children with junk food :( I know, I could stop... go downstairs and cook and then pick up the brushes again, but it has happened to me when I am immersed in a painting that I am really enjoying that when I stop and pick up the brushes again, my mood has changed... and the result is different. Today I didn't want to take the risk, because my mood today was somehow special :)))

Dónde estás Luis Bessa?

Image
Este blog es en inglés porque es un idioma que me gusta mucho, pero en esta ocasión escribiré en castellano pues quiero que estas palabras le lleguen a un amigo que acaba de partir. Conocí a Luis hace muchos años en un café, era un hombre enorme. Recuerdo que yo estaba sentada con mi amiga Silvia y ella me estaba leyendo una historia fantástica que acababa de escribir de una visita maquiavélica en una casa de locos... Luis escuchó esa maravillosa historia, mezcla de fantasía y realidad y en ese entonces se enamoró de mi amiga y a los pocos años se casaron. Estuve pocas veces con Luis, pero todas esas veces cambiaron mi vida... recuerdo una vez en mi casa que vió fotos de mis amigos y señaló a mi Luis, diciéndome "con ese muchacho te vas a casar!" Cuando mi esposo en ese entonces era solo mi amigo...situaciones como ésta se siguieron dando siempre que estaba con él. Cuando empecé a pintar, el vió mis primeras pinturas que en verdad eran horribles y me dijo: "Tu serás u...

This weekend in London

Image
Luis sent me these pics, and I loved them. The first one is from a fire that took place in Camden Town in a very old market and it is a pity that a part of it was destroyed... and it is so strange too that the image is so damned beautiful in spite that it is an image of destruction. Fire... many feelings come to me: destruction, fascination, purification, ... and Fire is in love, isn't it? The next image is also from Camden Town... The third image focuses in the miniskirt of that tall girl! Luis said he didn't noticed her.... should I believe him? :)))) And the last one is about a chat between a tree and a sculpture... That's London!
