Painting of Casares Andalucia on canvas

| Casares Moor Castillo Sketches in charcoal and watercolour from the Andalusia sketch book alongside two paintings both in acrylic on canvas |
Its great to be sat painting and sketching in a sun baked field with a magnificent view of a white village surmounted by a Moorish castle, high above the hazy Mediterranean sea. This warm Casares mid winter light, simply bounces of everything defining all in great detail. Its such a different prospect for the painter to paint here in mid winter than in the Mancunian Mersey basin and the mid English Pennines where my studio is, no wonder the starlings make their annual trip through this place, but though this mid winter light is brighter and more daunting to paint, it is not that far removed from the drama of the sparkling sea and skies along the northern coastlines of Britain; which is I think, (apart from the raids inland along the rivers lakes and high lands) where you will find me this coming year....seeking out the light and the poetry of its beauty
