Andalucia in February

We've just come back from a great 3-day weekend in Andalucia, Southern Spain.  Everywhere you look in the mountain region, there's something to paint, but as it was such a quick visit, I didn't take any painting equipment :-((    Have a look at www.andalucianretreats.com for details of where we stayed, and have a look at my galleries http://www.pbase.com/flocolm/southern_spain_2012 for more images.

Old Photos

Oh, the lovely memories old photos hold.... in this bunch I came across this morning, there's my favourite ever picture of my mum in her little boat, my granny dressed in an Hawiian grass skirt and my dad with his Jack-the-Lad mates.  Simply magic!

The Lucian Freud Exhibition
