The painting has been sketched out with a stiff brush and mostly purple with a little white and green paint.

I lived in Madrid on two occasions as a student and both times for about 6 months.  I love the Madrid.  I love the people.  I love the architecture.  I love the culture.  I love the Prado and all the artwork.  It is a city full of life and beauty with a rich history and wonderful energy.  This painting is being done from a photo I took while visiting there again a few years ago with my son.  I am excited about it because of the colors and because of the little face that will add some intrigue to the simple subject of a person standing infront of some flowers.
