Catedral de Burgos III, Spain,  watercolor alla prima, 6x4, available.
In the January-February issue of Artists Magazine, there is a recommendation I highly support: "Spend time at a museum. Aspire not to copy, but to seek what they sought.  They depth of your art will be in direct proportion to your love and understanding of your subject." And I add: keep a record of that museum visit, write notes, copy/sketch one of the masterpieces that struck you the most, study it, analyze each stroke, learn.  Your next paintings will reflect what you have learnt.

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.
