As promised, here are a few more examples of my mother's artwork, please excuse the self-indulgent derail of this post. It's just that she is just
so good! :drools:
Albufera: a deceptively simple painting that for some reason I adore.
Corvallis: fall in Corvallis. The pic resolution is bad and the colors are a bit overexposed, but you get the idea; she adored it there and went wild with her palette.
Balcony: an andalusian balcony. My mom loves white and paints it whenever she can.
Spanish house: another example of white and light. It's just a house in my village. But look at the wires in the façade!
Valley in autumn: a valley in central Spain during the fall. She went for flat, bright, superimposed colors and we liked the painting so much that we haven't sold it. It's in a place of honor in our house.
Light and shadows: summer sunlight playing along a wall. This is another one of those when you have to see the original to really get how well she managed the sunlight and the atmosphere.
El Greco, she does it professionally, but in a dilettante sort of way. Whenever she has the time and energy to spare, and can find the place, she exhibits her work and sells it. She also sells to friends and acquaintances. Gives away lots of stuff too, to my father's and my constant annoyance. She
deserves to be paid, dammit!
