People in a Plaza

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas. I wanted to see how this would turn out: a painting of a crowd of people in a plaza in front of a big church, so I painted it.

Like a Postcard

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  6x8 inches, watercolor and pen & ink.  Like a postcard, a remembrance of a place once visited not so long ago.

Stony Plaza and Smart Phones

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  6x8 inches, watercolor, gouache and pencil on mixed media paper.  The hikers don't seem to mind stretching out on the stony surface to use their smart phones.

Santiago de Compostela

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  8x10 inches, watercolor, gouache and pencil on paper.  First of a series of sketches of the plaza, usually filled with arriving hikers and visitors.  I think of them as postcards to recapture the experience of being there.
