    Rioja Alta Golf Club, Ciruena

    Yes, my wife and I felt like a bit of a psychological experiment in the making as we walked through that town. It was a strange feeling . . . but being near a golf course made it comforting :-)

    Rioja Alta Golf Club, Ciruena

    Yes, we stopped for lunch there in 2017. I recall we had a plate of paella each and it was very tasty. And of course, being a golfer, I had to buy a hat and souvenir golf ball 😂😂😂

    Camino de Santiago - Poppies Towards Carrion (Painting)

    Thank you Jenny for your "props" on this piece. It is a painting in acrylic although I must admit that the vibrancy of the colours and the sharpness of the edges throughout the painting are muted in the photo. I think I need more lessons in taking photos than painting. I am just happy to share...

    Camino de Santiago - Poppies Towards Carrion (Painting)

    Good morning fellow Peregrinos. I want to share my latest painting from our spring 2017 walk. This piece is inspired by a photo taken on our way from Fromista to Carrion de los Condes. Walking past this portion of a farm lined with these beautiful red poppies brought some brightness to an...

    Thank you for your kind words. I have attached both the reference photo as well as another version I painted in watercolor. I will continue to share paintings as I work through the stack of photos we have selected. My wife is keeping me very busy :-) The story behind this painting has...

    Painting - Camino de Santiago - Onwards to Molinaseca

    My wife and I walked the St. James way this past spring from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela. The walk was, as expected of course, a life rewarding experience. We captured many of the beautiful sites and vistas we saw and experienced in 1,600+ photos and 50+ videos. These have...
