"El Pintor", "the painter", is me!
I was starting to get in the swing and saw this typical Art Nouveau street scene on Gran Via, where our hotel was situated. This was a view through the street level lounge large picture windows.
While I was painting, people on the street side were watching and commenting as they went by the window. One artist came into the hotel to speak with me and to share information.
The next day in the small eateries around the corner one of the waiters started to pantomime something to me. He kept squinting at the wall, sizing it up with his hands, then took up a pastry brush and started to slap at the wall. Then he pointed to me and said, "El Pintor!"
Apparently more people were observing me than I'd realized....
This is a simple pen and wash technique with ink and transparent watercolor.
