First i picked up all the paintings in Trocha Madrid and then took a bus to BCN.
I should have left for Roma last friday, but i decided to stay a bit longer here, to make some new paintings and to find another exhibition place.

Just working outside in front of the house.The light is perfect and the temperature so high that the paint is almost dry allready before i put it on the canvas.
Today i got more canvasses, so i am sure that the exhibit in Madrid will be a very nice one.
I love the fact that i can make a painting and exhibit it immediately !!!
