Gabriela in Marbella, watercolor, 6x9" (15x22 cm.) , 2005. A souvenir of a lovely afternoon painting together, my daughter Gabriela, my grandaughters Alex and Marina, and me.Recuerdo de una tarde encantadora pintando juntas, mi hija Gabriela, mis nietas Alex y Marina, y yo.
Diego Velazquez "Las Meninas", and "Las Hilanderas", are some of my favorites of his work. They both show workers, although of a different kind: meninas were the ladies accompanying the Infanta Margarita, and hilanderas were...well, the weavers, although here the theme is mythological. The figures in both paintings are inserted in a precise manner to give depth, defined by the light, which creates an optical illusion of space and air.
"Las Meninas" y "Las Hilanderas" de Diego Velazquez, son algunas de mis pinturas favoritas de Velazquez. Ambas muestran trabajadoras, aunque de un tipo muy distinto: meninas son las damas de compania de la Infanta Margarita, y las hilanderas eran..pues hilanderas, aunque aqui el tema es mitologico. Las figuras en ambas pinturas han sido insertadas de una manera precisa para dar profundidad, definida por la luz, creando una ilusion optica de espacio y aire.
