Smallest_Sparrow ... sometimes on the Forum I see a post which absolutely blows me away with its brilliance and depth of feeling ... your post has done exactly that today. Thank you.I've thought about this a bit while planting between showers
if I were headed to the desert, I'd paint that
otherwise, if I had a talent for art (which my twin got, not me)
--I'd paint a quiet street at sunrise, with cobblestones and a bike leaned against the wall and bread hung on the door, and mist hugging the ground, after you've climbed over a convent wall to get out before offical opening times
--I'd paint candles glowing in a small forgotten chapel, and a tired, over-worked priest hearing one last confession before his long journey home
--I'd paint a veteran, hugging the back wall of a church they don't feel quite right entering, taking a knee on the stone floor during Mass, pack on their back as they are used to doing in field services
--I'd paint a newly formed Camino couple full of the thought of love that may not last the separation...or may make a love that will last forever
--I'd paint a credential full of sellos, overlaid with the faces I've met along the way
--I'd paint Roncesvalles at sunset and the cruz de ferro at sunrise and the foggy morning view from the monastery at ziortza and all the beaches of the Norte
--I'd paint the horses and cattle on the Hospitales, and the view above the clouds at the abandoned hospital Montouto...
I am truly in awe of your ability to create
edit: rain showers while in my garden, not any other sort....even if I do my best thinking in the other sort
I agree Annie! Smallest_Sparrow should write!You should write!
Your own? How can you paint somebody elses experiences? Buen Camino and Happy Creating, SY
PS I would give anything for a desert retreat just now ...
It would be great to feel that some of our photos had inspired your painting. Find a photo that speaks to you and then when you post it you could say from "..'s" photo. Have a good time in the desert - you might even paint something there too.I do have my own memories but I paint best from a photo. I'm not good enough to paint from memory.
Oooooooooooooooooooh!Annie,
You may find one on my website that you would like to paint. Check the Landscape and Panorama sections.

The thing that rocked me was the Lynx, during daylight! Getting a picture of any wild cat is a blessing. Thank you for the great work!Thank you all so much. I am overwhelmed at your generous comments. Everywhere I look I see beauty and try to capture it through photography.
What a beautiful photo Pat - is it in the Pamplona/Logrono area? Not having walked this part of the Camino I'd be interested to know.
No Jenny -that is the view looking back towards Castrojeriz. Its about 2/3 of way up. I agree its a great photo. MWhat a beautiful photo Pat - is it in the Pamplona/Logrono area? Not having walked this part of the Camino I'd be interested to know.

Thank you Jenny. As Mike says, its about half way up Alto de Mostelares and looking back towards Castrojeriz.What a beautiful photo Pat - is it in the Pamplona/Logrono area? Not having walked this part of the Camino I'd be interested to know.

Oh I so loved that part of the Way. Actually, I loved it all!Thank you Jenny. As Mike says, its about half way up Alto de Mostelares and looking back towards Castrojeriz.
Attached is the photo coming from Hontanas and looking forward towards Castrojeriz. As you can see, everything is green, as it early May 2012, I have seen photos on here where everything is brown, as they were taken later in summer. Its a beautiful place.

I really like this photo. Any idea where?
I really like this photo. Any idea where?
in fact, it is (I believe) taken standing in front of what was L'Esprit du Chemin, now Beilari...Pong,
The photo is shot looking west along the Camino Frances which follows the rue de La Citadelle in Saint Jean Pied de Port, France.
Well, I just settled into the desert for the winter. I haven't begun any Camino watercolor paintings yet, but did finish this one of my son's dog, Data, recently. I painted it from a photo I took one morning when he was gazing out the window. The original photo is also attached. I really enjoy doing this type of realistic painting. It's easier for me than the "loose" styles - probably my Type A Personality!View attachment 30179
