This weekend saw the Velez Blanco leg of an exhibition by members of Grupo Gabar. (The figure is one of the paleolithic cave drawings in these parts and represents the group). Donna and I participated with some rather old watercolours made in India, being all we had to hand in a frame at the time of the invitation. The first part of the exhibition was in Almeria city (alas we didn’t make that) and the second part was here…
This is the Galeria Estudio La Concepcion and the brain child of our friend Pepe. It’s part of the 16th century convent of Velez Blanco and is extremely beautiful.
Like private views the world over punters never stand back to back admiring the work. They focus in on each other, the food and the wine and conversation. Ok it’s not a crush but the sun was shining for the first time in a while and it gave us the opportunity to say hello to people, especially Pepe who is always a delight.
From here we escaped the cold and went to the beach with the children for the rest of the weekend and a bit of RnR. It’s amazing how much warmer it is down there despite the grey skies. Sun is forecast so I believe that’s the last of the bad stuff until spring which gives you the first of the year’s rain before the big heat.
