An original oil painting, offering an interesting aerial portrayal of Cadiz, a southwestern port city of Spain, inspired by tower bells at the Torre de Poniente of the Catedral de Cadiz. Spain Vignettes 2012.
Yes, bell city. That was the impression that the southwestern port city of Cadiz gave me. Maybe because one of the first and most exhilarating views that I had of the place is up from the windy Torre de Poniente where the distinctive tower bells of the Catedral de Cadiz overlook in various sizes over the panorama that is the glittering white Andulasian enclave of Cadiz lined by a blue Atlantic strip.
I feel compelled to paint the city in light and imbued these 2 pieces with the hues of the place. There is no one single overwhelmingly stunning feature but the sum of Cadiz is a pleasant one and we loved the atmosphere and festivities, enjoying the architecture of the narrow streets, the parks, vistas, the laid-back ambience that can only come with a port city. And it is this light feeling that sustained my paint strokes.
