Euro Tour :: Barcelona :: Sagrada Familia

Tweet

Visited Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece twice during my stop in Barcelona. First day was rainy and overcast and there STILL was an insane line. I wised up and realized I could and needed to buy a ticket online to beat the crush of people. The photography gods were smiling as the day of my return was sunny and clear.

3 Paintings in 3 Acts

Tweet

In July 2012 I began a new series of paintings featuring cloudscapes, skyscapes, and terrascapes. The entire body of work completed through September 2012 can be seen at The Aero Series / Sep 2012.

The photos below show the evolution of the most recent of these paintings, a triptych titled "Aero No. 12". Click on each photo to see the 3 stage process up close. Thought it would be an interesting way to see how this particular set of paintings developed into their finished state in the fourth photo image at the end.

Another Painting Leaves the Studio!

Huge thanks to writer Hans Lüttman for becoming the newest patron of Reyes Fine Art! He selected "LA Skyline (Dawn), No. 2" to complement the creative environment of his studio in Hollywood.

The image in the painting was inspired by the dramatic light and clouds over downtown LA after an early morning rainstorm. This and its companion piece, "LA Skyline (Dawn), No. 1" are key works from my Urbanica Series. I am so pleased that it has found a new home and hope that the inspiration that helped create the painting provides similar creative inspiration for Hans and his work.
