The Ramblas!

Similar to the Barcelona paintings I've been hot after since I've been back (the pinkish one from a few days ago,) these are much more atmospheric than what I normally tend to do.
But how can you go to a place and not try to capture what the surroundings are?
You've just got to.

One of the (sadly,) few museums that I made it to while I was in Barcelona was the Miro-- which was great. More additional places to see on my return visit, right? ;)

While I was struggling/painting through this at Can Serrat, someone there commented that it looked like I approached piece in a rather "Miro-esque" fashion: solid aggressions of color and then forms that emerge from there. I know what I'm looking at, but I don't know if the forms communicate as well to the viewer as they need to? On the other hand, neither were the things that Miro did. Weren't always so clear. ("Oh, that's a bird?"-- alot of that in my brain.)

Suffice to say, I kind of like it.
