Fuente de Burgos, Spain, watercolor plein air

Fuente de Burgos, Spain, watercolor, plein air, 4x6 (10x15cm.) Available.
Burgos is a beautiful and sophisticated city in the North of Spain, where sculptures, water fountains, parks, give you a feeling of calm, relaxation, and joy. I painted this small watercolor sitting in front of the changing fountain, its waters danced for me with gusto and passion!

Catedral de Burgos II, watercolor sketch, alla prima

Catedral de Burgos II, watercolor sketch, 6x4" Available.
When visiting the beautiful city of Burgos in Northern Spain  last summer, I did several watercolor sketches in the cathedral. It is an amazing building. The town is artistic, elegant, sophisticated. I recommend a visit to Burgos next time you're in Spain.
LA JOLLA ART ASSOCIATION, in California, is having an Open Juried Watercolor Show, from April 8 to 22. Entry day is April 8. You must hand in your work. Any questions? Send me an email, and I'll send you the prospectus. I'm the juror. Time to get serious!! Go ahead, it will be a great show!!!

Catedral de Burgos

Catedral de Burgos, watercolor, 6x4" (15x10cm) Available. Painted on location, at the cathedral, this past September. The Catedral de Burgos, in Spain, is an incredible beautiful church, in a gorgeously beautiful city. Sorry for the superlatives, but I had not heard too much comments about the beauty of Burgos, while other cities in Spain are very famous for their beauty, like Sevilla, Toledo, and others. Maybe that's why Burgos took me by surprise so much. The river and park along the river is magnificent, with modern statues, and extremely well kept gardens. The cultural life and friendliness of its inhabitants make Burgos, in the north of Spain, a city well worth visiting.

Fuente de Burgos

Fuente de Burgos, Spain.  watercolor, 10x15cm. (4x6") available: 40 Euros, = $55US. Painted plein-air on location.
Burgos is a beautiful town in the north of Spain, where I was last week for a few days. This water fountain by the river and park dances, changing constantly, surprising the passers by. At night, the lights dance in unison with the waters. A modern building with details in red behind gives a good color contrast.
Fuente de Burgos, Espana. acuarela, disponible: 40 Euros = $55US. Pintada al aire libre frente a la fuente.
Burgos es una ciudad preciosa en el norte de Espana, donde estuve unos dias la semana pasada. Esta fuente al lado del rio y sus parques baila, cambiando constantemente, sorprendiendo a los que pasan a su lado. De noche, las luces danzan junto con las aguas. Un edificio moderno con toques en rojo detras da un buen contraste de colores.
