Greetings from the Convent of Santa Clara !
Thank you for following me.
Most of my readers it seems are in Russia , guess they just look at the art work, but every month people are dropping in from all round the world. I so wish I knew who you were. Please, sometimes, leave a message, or email me personally @ megrobinson@yahoo.com.
I'm here for a month (hopefully a bit longer) in the 15th century monastery in the village of Belalcazar near Cordoba, Spain. Part of the monastery, now a convent, has been converted into an international arts centre.
Have a look at the art's center/ convent's website : http://www.lafragua.es . You'll get an idea of what happening here. It's exciting, stimulating, nurturing, humbling, and awe inspiring.
I'm staying in the convent making a part silent retreat, working on new blub books, and the other part I'm making a new series of paintings on the theme of the Spanish Golden Age called La Convivencia. It was a fascinating period during which Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived in harmony together, for many generations.
Here are a few of my preliminary sketches to share with you.
