How Do You Make a Memory?

June 07, 2017

When you spend several hours or more making a painting, the visual picture stays in your mind forever.  It is a visual that is hard to turn off.  When you lie in your bed at night, you keep painting it mentally. When we were in Sevilla last May (2016), we spent a lot of time on the roof top of our hotel, breakfast there in the morning, drinks and sunset watching in the evenings. We also had a painting session there where I created the above painting of the skyline.  I loved all the Gothic cathedral towers and spiky ironwork.   The light was beautiful, so I made the colorful sky.  Now I will always remember it.
