Another painting from Spain, this one was done in a small town in the north west called Zamora. My notes on the paintings from Zamora, of which there were 4, says that I didn't have a map, not did I have any idea of what locations I had painted! Nowadays with the magic of google maps I figured out that this is likely outside of the Palacio de los Momos church. It was an ambitious painting, I recall the challenge of having to fit the entire building in the background and had to make it a lot shorter that it appears in real life. There is a car in there too, hidden behind the palm tree. The statue gives just enough detail to see a mother playing with a baby. Like all of the latter paintings from the 1998 trip it was done on some crusty yellow watercolour paper I bought when I was there. It was still 140lb cold press and 100% rag- the brand may have been D'Arches. 5 x 7" watercolour.
Here is a second painting from the area, I wonder if that is the same car?
