And now, I painted his back side -- pointing the way down the hill. I didn't have quite as much time as I'd like. From there, Randy and I were rushing off to catch a Flamenco show. A person or two might appear in this as well. After the fact.
While painting "Cervantes View," I met two artists -- one on his way to sketch and another who is a writer, sculptor, painter plus some other creative title. Madrid is such an incredibly welcoming, beautiful place.
I'll have to return.
I'm now in another breathtaking spot. Look for new paintings in the days to come. (Please.)
