Palma de Mallorca, Carrer de Santiago Rusñol

Are you sick of seeing these images yet? Well, I'm not - here's another goody from Palma de Mallorca. This is a rare find because it shows three adjacent walls in a city block. There was a high fixed-in-cement barrier in front of the theatre-like display so I could not photograph freely. I have included a few decen shots taken with my arm stuck through the muslin!

Don't you just love the multiple stair cases leading to...???

While I continue to paint these images, I am also now preparing thematerials to do embossed and water color versions - lighter, less dense than acrylic and modeling paste.

Muro, Mallorca...another ruin

Today is another beautiful December Sunday in Mallorca. With some time alone I wandered my village to uncover neglected nooks. This particular house pictured above gives me déjàvu of snooping around the ruins behind my grandparents' house in Gloucester, MA.

My brothers and I used to go out into their back woods and trespass on the dangerous rotting staircases. The peculiar thing about these former dwellings here is that you don't need to go far to find them- they are abundant and nestled in with renovated and modern homes. Posts have been slow lately. I am pining to get into the studio. Alas, I have another job I need to finish up. Soon, soon.
