Me and You

Our friendship is for life, love is eternal.
Me and you, You and me, nothing else matters.
Our connection is present in our lives.
The way you move, the way I do are movements to our love.
Me and you.

Adjectives

They are part of us. They define us, give more information about us, animals, things... Whether we like being defined or not, they are there and these drawings are part of a series I started.

Chimneys

I don't know why I love chimneys, maybe because they remind me of a past when there wasn't technology and life was simple.


These ones on your left are on the top of my building.

This is in Madrid. This house has seven chimneys.

These are in Cambridge.

Pull down the curtain!

This is part of the curtain in the theatre of the town I was born. It's very beautiful and it is also very old. The theatre opened in 1904 but it was renovated several times. On the below photograph you can see what it is like.              patio-y-telon.jpg

The Saint James' Way

 This is a pilgrimage many people used to do in medieval times. Legend holds St. James was buried in the city of Santiago de Compostela, in the north of Spain (Galicia).
 Whenever St. James's day (25 July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral declares a Holy or Jubilee Year, with different activities.
 My husband and I did from Roncesvalles (Navarra, near the French frontier) to Burgos (Castile and Leon). During our way we met an Italian man called Luigi. He was walking from Rome because his wife died and he was very sad.

BINGO!

I played bingo with children to review colours, numbers and family vocabulary. They liked it a lot! Although one of them wanted to win. He didn't do it and he got very angry.

Homage to Sydenham Edwards

Sydenham Edwards was a botanical illustrator. William Curtis, the publisher of botanical works, and founder of the Curtis's Botanical Magazine proceeded to have Edwards trained in both botany and botanical illustration. (Wikipedia)

I've always been interested in this kind of drawing and after watching something similar on tv, I decided to do it.

Immigrants

They are part of our everyday life, but we don't pay any attention to them. Sometimes I think they blend into the scenery as if they were invisible.That's why I normally have a smile for them saying I'm part of you and you are part of me.

Chinese porcelain

I finished this drawing today after two weeks (lack of time). It's inspired by Chinese porcelain.

Victorian and Art Noveau

This is the drawing I promised to post. It's been an adventure! Surfing Internet for info about the Victorian Era and Art Noveau. It's an amazing period with a lot of different things, and people making them. I love it!

Street Art

I find it very creative that people draw and paint on fachades or the sides of buildings. It's incredible what they can do!!

A new portrait

I don't know why this week I'm drawing my husband and me. It's curious because I'm not very good at drawing people. I need more practice.
