El Giraldillo

[Grapes]

This is a daily painting from earlier this year.
My model is a chess piece and it imitates "El Giraldillo" which is standing on the top of the cathedral of Seville. The cathedral tower is called "La Giralda" and this little thing on the top "El Giraldillo".
The sculptor who made the Giraldillo long time ago is Bartolome Morel.

Oil painting on Fabriano Tela oil paper.

Wonderful! There's nothing easy about painting shiny metallic things, and you've made this glow. I love it!

 

[Grapes]

Terri, thanks!
Wanted to practice metal.

I'm impressed too, Grapes! Your painting looks so dramatic - as if the statue is really out in the sun.

Donna, thank you!
