One evening in Andalucía I saw an image on the TV screen and it stuck with me. We just went to a fantastic Flamenco show in Granada and I was totally smitten. This image represented all that Spain is to me. The beauty, the pride and temperament, the music and dance, exotic and turbulent history, the riches and wonderful art, the sun bathed varied landscape, the heat, wind, and sea, the phenomenal people and such wonderful language! My list could go on into food, fresh olives, seafood, shops, Zara and new fashions, Europe, Moorish and Jewish history of coexisting cultures...The Architecture and white towns, my friend's beach condo....

So this image is a large case study I had tried to recreate. I had just finished it for my large living room wall. I have no clue who the image's artist was so cannot give due credit.
