Muchas Gracias Carlos!
Well, I am not so good in Spanish either! I studied it for many years, but did not practice enough and started to forget words after words... This is a shame
I have never been to Madrid although I have lived close to Spain for years, but I would like to go someday. This city is beautiful, isn't it?

I'm a little embarassed to get all these compliments! The thing is that I really enjoyed painting this one. I think it is important not to worry about the outcome, just enjoying the process. In my humble opinion, technical skills are something essential to learn, but there is another important one to me, which is enjoying the act of painting!
This should be something natural to us, yet we can easily forget it, sometimes, when getting commissions that do not inspire us as much as we would like them to, when we begin to worry that the portrait doesn't get done properly or in time, or when students practice and do not get the results they are hoping to get. Painting is a very intense way of learning about oneself, but how exciting is it!
Carlos, could you please give me the link to the Spanish forum you found?
