SEAHORSE



 

Officially started my summer vacations!!!!! With the end-of-term exams over, the Selectividad over as well ( Selectividad is the official exam we do here in Spain to get accepted in public universities) and not having to attend school, I'll have more time to paint, draw and dedicate to the blog :)    

        



 Today I'll continue with my under-the-sea theme I started with the hermit crab from my previous post (http://luloleloco.blogspot.com/2013/05/mr-hermit-crab.html ) This time though, it's a seahorse, and I also created him from a few scribbles which I then looked carefully and my imagination did the rest, adding all the details and missing parts so that everyone sees the seahorse and it's not just me. Anyway I'll have to confess that at first it was intended to be a crocodile but then I thought it would do better as a seahorse and that's how he stayed.

 

I LOVE Greece

 

I did this painting a few months ago, after visiting Greece last summer. It's based on a watercolour I found on the internet. I'm guessing it's Santorini but i'm not quite sure,it could be any small, white greek village.I didn't do the painting directly from my own photos because i didn't have the chance to take many and i went there with a horrible camera so nothing good came out... I'm sorry i coudn't take a better picture of the painting, but it reflected light no matter how or where you took the picture!!! :)

Photo of the week!

Todays' photo is one of my personal favourites.I took it in Andros island in the Bahamas.It's quite a big ( if i remember right,it is the biggest in the Bahamas),non turistic and undiscovered island,making it perfect for a family vacation. We stayed in a beautiful house that was actually built away from the shoreline and in the water.The photograph is taken from the porch and, although it has some digital alterations (more contrast and some light and shadow adjustments), sunsets from that porch were simply breathtaking.The water was actually salt water and one morning we were lucky enough to see a dolphin. There were also lots of trumpet fish, baby barracuda and zebra-stripped fish swimming around the house and it was almost as a fairytale except, perhaps, for the mosquitoes and the somewhat horrible smell of the water...Anyway you can't expect for all of it to be perfect, but I spent a lovely time with all my family and i would certainly repeat the experience!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Lighthouse painting

Today i'm just posting another of my paintings. This one is based on a photograph i found browsing around the web. I think that this painting is one of those paintings that are nicer in real life than in photographs... It was a gift for my parents and i personally like it.do you??? :)
