 Trevélez or Capileira...

 I think the mountain scenery will be very nice for painting. Trevélez is Spain's highest village. It isn't too hard to get to though. Capileira is another option, perhaps easier to get to and perhaps with more varied scenery.

A post-pandemic plan: to go here in April for painting. Also, to take in Granada, Cordoba, Seville and Malaga. 

 There are complications because of the need for health certificates required to enter Spain and the UK, which make travel more complicated. I hope some of these necessities disappear in the next few months, as I find these things stressful.

The Glory of Moth A - detail

This set was produced around the same time as the Fountains series. It shows imaginary moths, made using stencils.

 

 

The set relates to Magritte's The Black Flag (1937) a masterful work  featuring sinister flying machines at night.

As well as abandonment - the placing no longer desired items in public places, there is also a fair amount of adornment in Canasvieirias- usually of plants.

 This is one of my favourites of the set- the textures are suggestive and the colours work nicely.

 

 The nocturnal aspect works well with the shapes which are sometimes reminiscant of planets.
