Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Flamenco Paintings

I´ve loved Flamenco as long as I can remember, I had a large collection of Spanish dolls that my grandma brought me back from her holidays. So the music of a Spanish guitar always conjures up the vigour of the many forms of Flamenco.

These paintings by Margaret Merry excite me and wonderfully depict the emotion of the dancers.














Margaret lives in and paints in Spain, her work can be found on her Flamenco Paintings blog both original paintings and prints are for sale.

My son, at trained luthier has a hand-made Spanish Flamenca blanca guitar sale not unlike the ones in the paintings.

I really can´t decide which of these paintings is my favourite each one has wonderful detail. The bright red and blue ones are vivid and eye-catching but the other two make me look at their pose and expression more. Which is your favourite?
