Always thought that Miro was off in some kind of exploration of abstraction and the Surreal.
I was wrong.
Trying to paint in this odd lanscape and even odder light has convinced me that that he was a strict realist.
Red dust and rock.
The funny looking trees are Eucylyptus…
The animals maybe he just didn`t like them?
Arrived in a town called San Jose at 7.30pm (via Almeria). There is not an inch of ground to be seen that is not covered by Polythene Greenhouses as we travelled along the coast.
Odd.
If you squint its like fields covered in snow.
How any light actually penetrates the filth of the plastic ill never know. I guess this is real post industrial farming…
Moonscape ends… hello San Jose.
Beautiful.
Malaga – flew Easyjet – almost unbelievably the plane was nice…
What do people eat in Malaga? …we had to ask the tourist info to loacte a Supermercado.
So Flipflops is as done as its going to be for a year I should imagine… oo popping up pictures – in the end there just wasn’t eneough time.
I’ve also realised that there are no email addresses – still probably the only people who will look here know us already and its doubtful that they will look anyway… still our emails could be cracked without a great deal of imagination… and I get eneough junk as it is.
So a year away from work, away from computers off email except for once a month – I should do it more often.
Perhaps we should all try to have a deep philosophical thought every day, and then do something useful with it.
