Last night, Pam and I had the pleasure of attending the opening of an exhibition of watercolour paintings and drawings of the Camino de Santiago. The artist, Federico Ramirez Huerta, had painstakingly drawn in exquisite detail the scenes he captured with his camera. Most were then completed in watercolour. Many reminded us very much of architects realisations of stately homes from previous centuries. Federico clearly has a great deal of patience, a steady hand and some very fine brushes.
There was one picture that stood out for both Pam and I for both its composition and the fact that it looked more like a watercolour painting than a tinted drawing. Whilst we were discussing this, the artist came over and explained that it was also his favourite from the exhibition and indeed was also his wife's favourite. I will leave you to find the painting for yourselves!
