18" x 24", acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord

I posted photos of the work in progress on my Facebook page.  If this painting looks rather familiar, it is...  It's a larger, slightly different version of Granada - 2 (28 March 2013), which I posted last month.  Sean, who is showing some of my paintings at his Koldshoulder Working Gallery, has requested I paint larger, so I am :-) ...

This painting and two others I posted earlier will I believe be showing at Umpqua Bank in the Pearl for First Thursday, later today, along with works by other artists (Kurt McGrew, Carol Duvernois, and Davey Cadaver, possibly some others) thanks to Sean Kalley & his Koldshoulder Working Gallery.

I posted pics of all of the paintings together on my Facebook page.
