Cosmos I

Cosmos I, acrylic on canvas, 10x10" (25x25 cm.) part of a series of four "Cosmos".

Today is Goya's birthday, March 30th. I tried to find a monster in my paintings to celebrate Goya, but I haven't made monsters yet. It must be a good sign. Goya started painting sweet children and portraits of real people, like majas and musicians, it wasn't until his later years that he did a series of war paintings, and near the end of his life, his monsters. For the best collection of Goya paintings, you must visit El Prado, in Madrid.

Hoy es el cumpleanos de Goya, 30 de marzo. Trate de encontrar un monstruo en mis pinturas para celebrar su cumpleanos, pero no he pintado monstruos todavia. Debe ser buena senal. Goya comenzo su carrera pintando dulces ninos y retratos de gente, como majas y musicos, no fue hasta mas tarde en su vida que hizo una serie de pinturas de guerra, y casi al final de su vida, sus monstruos. Para ver la mejor colecction de pinturas de Goya, debes visitar El Prado, en Madrid.
