Mallorca - train to Sóller

Still posting about Mallorca - but hey it's November and generally grey in this part of the world at the moment, which makes recalling blue skies and warmth so pleasant!

In this post I have only covered the train journey to Sóller and the exhibitions of Miró and Picasso.  For more info about the train click here or here to watch a YouTube video.  


Heading for the mountains, passing through olive groves on the way.







Views from the station stop at Bunyola.



The train stopped for a while giving us an opportunity to look down on our destination and to admire the mountains that surround Sóller.





I didn't take any photos of our approach and arrival at Sóller Station but you will find some here and Val Javin's interesting recollection here is well worth a read.

Thoroughly enjoyed the exhibitions - see the work of Joan Miró below.

This includes a piece of anaglypta from Carol Parsons painting class back in March, 2009? This particular piece of wallpaper has already been used to 'print paint to canvas'. Victoria Hilliard produces lovely ceramic pictures inspired by nature, including the portrayal of moths and butterflies. Would I have produced this collage if Tori were not a member of Art Space Gallery? Maybe not. Everything is 'grist to the visual mill' as far as artists are concerned. 'Floral - Pedestal' this painting just evolved. Fun, fun and more fun! 'Floral - Feel Amazing'. I love this artwork! My daughter's boyfriend bought her flowers, including old fashioned roses, which provided the inspiration for the flowers at the top of the painting and the cellophane wrapper is...
