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.

and Picasso's ceramics

Lucky us! Click to enlarge. Next time I'll post about our journey on the tram from Sóller to the Port.

Big and small original paintings....

Had so much fun painting the first two artworks (shown below)
which were prompted by the fear that continual painting in oil on small boards was making my work too tight.

Also, the last two very large commissions in oil on canvas completed last year were a struggle and soooo time consuming, which I have attributed to the lack of speedy, loose gestural under painting in acrylic, which were a feature of earlier large compositions.

'Sea Mist Offshore, Porthmeor'
acrylic on deep edge canvas, 30 x 80 cm.

Beach, Action and Shadow'
acrylic/acrylic gels on chunky deep edge canvas, 50 x 50 cm.
