More watercolors from the albums

  There has been here a leap in time; the watercolors you will see from now on in the new blog spots will belong to the albums of the same time with a not covered period between the last watercolors I published and the current moment.

My I-child I try to control searches with anxiety women (these ones and others ones) that have already (or will have) other children or men.
They are the same that incite me to jump "the obstacle", not to block myself..

Hope

  Some time ago Rita asked me a painting. She requested me to include some elements, like the sea and the wisterias, and to make reference to her and her parents who are dead.

  I took a long time to finish it because at some point I got stuck and I could not find a way to unite the composition I had conceived.

  The arches of the fresco by Masolino in the church of Saint Clemente in Rome have been humming in my mind since they hit me for their delicacy the first time I saw them.

Masolino, "The Annunciation"

  So I included them by playing to mix spaces, as the times too had been mixed.

  Rita became an image of the hope. Speranza is her surname.

  The rainbow of one of the landscape repeats that idea of hope and reconciliation between different dimensions and the volcan of the other one represents the Vesevius which dominates her town.

A fresco in my attic

  This course we, Ana, Beatriz, Agustín and I, are painting a fresco.

The problem of the beam of the next house. The solution: canes. Augustín.

Bea

  The theme of a map allowed us to touch different issues in the same composition.

Map by Leonardo Da Vinci

  These are some of my sketches:

  I could often see this fresco so the elements I'm putting in are a garden, an harbour, a city, a lighthouse, a vegetable garden,...

  I wanted to imitate the waves I saw on a map, and here they began to take shape:

The balsa of the fifth "giornata":

For the sixth "giornata" I've reused, slightly transformed, some arches by Masolino (the Rita's painting is antecedent although the blog post is more recent):
