Back from Spain


I am back now from Spain, Sitges, to be exact. We spent nearly two weeks in this beautiful town on the Mediterranean Sea with some very nice people. The location for my exhibit was wonderful and the festival organizers had everything very well managed. I had a great display of my pieces and taught classes. Everyone was so excited to see my work, it was nice to hear everyone's compliments and feedback. This is the church in town right on the sea facing the sunset. We stayed at a great hotel called La Santa Maria. They were so great and the hotel was very very nice with all the amenitites of home plus (like people to clean up after you).


We went to Barcelona and visited by tour bus which was great because you could get on and off as you wished. The most incredible thing I saw was La Sagrada Familia (the Sacred Family) which is the cathedral designed by Antonio Gaudi. He was a genius and engineered one of the most incredible structures ever created. It is beautiful in an indescribable way. Here are a couple of pictures for a taste. Look him up on the Internet and see what he did. The stained glass windows glowed in a rainbow of colors against the concrete columns in the sunlight. The ceiling was like flowers feathered together. The outside shot is from a postcard. Unfortunately I didn't take it but you can see how incredible this place is!


So now we will see what I will produce after being so inspired by the architecture and beauty of the countryside of Spain. I was very lucky to have been there.
