Not long ago, I used similar colors for a flamenco painting. I really liked the result, that is why I wanted to repeat the combination. The name for this painting refers to the long train some flamenco dresses have, that is called "bata de cola".
This painting's title is a pun, playing with the words fan and fun, whose pronunciations are quite similar. Dancing flamenco with a fan is definitely fun!
I just can't get tired of painting dancers!
There are so many different perspectives and postures that you can paint in flamenco dancing.
In this one, I wanted to capture the dancer spinning around.
I hope you all enjoy this. x
I couldn't resist painting a couple of tomatoes that I personally picked up at my parents' house. Their colours, their shape and their smell were amazing. It is a shame we can't paint smells! After the shot, these tomatoes were the key ingredient of my mum's delicious gazpacho.

Back by popular demand, here is a flamenco dancer playing castanets. This time I painted it on a bigger canvas, I hope you enjoy the result! With this painting, I would like to wish you all a lovely summer holidays, I will be back in August with more ideas! Have fun! xx
Most of you will know what 'sangria'means. Back home they normally prepare it in a ceramic jug, so it keeps cool for longer. I like making mine with lots of pieces of orange and apple with a touch of cinnamon! Yum! Perfect for a sunny day :)
I was feeling a bit homesick, and the sea at dawn always reminds me of my hometown. I hope the warm colours of the painting will bring some heat to these cold snowy days!
10% of the final price of this painting went to Barnardo's Scotland.
These magnificent views are just a couple of kilometres away from where I spent most of my childhood. It is a sunset in "el Faro de Trafalgar" (the lighthouse of Trafalgar), situated in Los Caños de Meca, a lovely small beach in the south of Spain.
