El Pescador- After Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida


El Pescador-  After Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida
Most of the work I have seen of Sorolla have been beaches with boats people and animals.  This portrait came up at auction recently.  A great balance of refinement and painterly strokes. Was priced between $30-$50,000.
Did a quick study to explore.

Hellelil and Hildebrand -The Meeting on the Turret Stairs


For the day thats in it.  Voted Irelands favourite painting by Frederic William Burton. It is held by the National Gallery of Ireland. Amazingly this is a watercolour.  The colour has been preserved by limiting the painting exposure to light.
