Apres-midi `a Saint-Savin

Apres-midi `a Saint Savin, ink wash from my sketch journal, 17x12 cm., 2010. This is a quick value sketch of the famous 12th C. church I have painted many times. Este es un bosquejo de valores rapido de la famosa iglesia del siglo XII que he pintado muchas veces.

Last year, in the San Diego Museum of Art, I visited: "PALACE: Paintings from Bikaner". Bikaner is a principality that flourished in NW India from 15th-19th C. The artistic productions at Bikaner are considered the most elegant and sophisticated of all Rajput painting. There were beautiful opaque watercolor (gouache) and gold on paper paintings of Abu'l Kasim from around 1793.
El ano pasado, en el Museo de Arte de San Diego, visite: "PALACIO: Pinturas de Bikaner". Bikaner es un principado que llego a su cima en India noroeste entre los siglos XV y XIX. Las producciones artisticas de Bikaner fueron consideradas las mas elegantes y sofisticadas del arte Rajput. Habia hermosas pinturas de acuarelas opacas (gouache) y oro sobre papel de Abu'l Kasim de alrededor de 1793.
