My camino art







I thought it time I made a blog for showing my oil Paintings








The first is the one of me walking the Ebro where Holde took a photo of me talking to Christopher. She kindly gave me permission to use it and I made the painting from it, Thank you dear friends
I think all the others are from photos I took on my Caminos combined with my own memory of the time as I cant carry canvases and all the necessary paint gear when hiking chuckle








Here is the place we all dream to find at the end of our long hike no matter which Camino we choose to walk. This painting I did shows the Cathedral at night under floodlighting you realise again the crowds have thinned and you have llagado












While in this one you see the swinging of the giant incense burner that you saw when you went to the service earlier











On second day out from Irun I come down a steep path to the small town of Pasaia on the banks of a river to catch a ferry across in drizzling rain. Here I stopped for a welcome coffee! I loved the reflections on the plaza stones. Even the tourists help make the painting!











I remember coming out of the dark woods and seeing this dazzling sunlit church by this estuary. I added the coming storm cloud to brake up the blue sky for my painting. This was second painting I attempted after a 20-year rest from painting chuckle
