"Sharon Littig and I travelled to Spain a couple of weeks ago. We stayed in Madrid, just two blocks from the Prado, a stone's throw from the world's largest Sorolla exhibit ever. The show was extraordinary - Sharon and I went back three times to absorb the color and soak up the light. The depth of feeling that radiated from the work was both humbling and inspiring. We also visited his house, which is now a national museum. The picture above is his studio, within the house. Below are more photographs taken during our trip to Spain."

This is a quick sketch I did of Sharon painting the bronze lions at the Parque del Retiro
