On the Camino

On the Camino - We are finally finished with the rent-car and now we travel solely by bus or on foot. The scenery of northern Spain, especially in the state of Asturias is so beautiful. Several times each day I am sure that JRR Tolkien must surely walked here and got all his ideas for scenes in the Lord of tha Rings from here. The path ways, the ancient buildings, the forests and fields, lovely small villages, streams, and mountains are just incredibly beautiful. Spain is proving to be the most beautiful place I have ever been privileged to experience. I will be painting from my photos for years to come. I include some sketches and a couple of paintings of the last couple of days for your perusal.
