Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos
(Castle of Christian Monarchs)
Corodoba, Spain
poured watercolor
11×14″
While in Spain, I taught my class how to do a poured watercolor. The above image is what we did.
It is of the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos in Cordoba.
This castle is located along the river near the Mezquita and was built in 1328 by Alfonso XI.
It is the castle where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella resided when Christopher Columbus approached them with the request to fund his journey and subsequently the discovery of America.
I love it, Leslie!
Thanks Kathryn!
I wrote a quick note via gmail, and as I was closing, it indicated "draft", so I'm not sure you received it.
Thank you for the good word on the green man – still not quite finished. And BIG hugs to you and your family!
Definitely looking forward to more photos of Spain, and paintings!!
No, Kathryn, I did not receive it! But I am glad I got your message here. Thank you! I can't wait to see what you do with your green man. More photos and paintings of Spain are coming. . .
