   There’s another Miro museum/gallery in Barcelona which I have visited several times – I love his work – so bold, simple and expressive .

   Thank you Nick ! it’s a very inspiring video, in each detail I can see exactly what you teach about making a painting “interesting” by creating differences of shapes, contrast, size, colour, texture etc. Great also to see the pictures of Miro in his studio !

   Wonderful to see these paintings again Nicholas! I got back from Mallorca just yesterday. Spending time with Miro’s wonderful work was a real highlight of my visit… I also loved his wall drawings at Son Bot, in the grounds of the Miro Foundation… something vulnerable and intensely moving about them…

    Miro is my favorite artist! I was at the museum in 1997! It was awesome!!!

    
    
    
    • Nicholas Wilton on October 22, 2017 at 3:30 am

    How magical to be transported to Spain and to see these stunning works up close! Thank you Nick for the little adventure!

    Lovely work. I can see a similarity between your marks and those of Miro which I had never noticed before.

    
    
    
16. Sheikie on October 21, 2017 at 12:14 pm

    I’m speechless with love. Except to say thank you Nicholas!

      So glad it resonates…it is funny but sometimes you never know quite for sure if people will react like I do–that is fine but feels great when others see it too!

    Thank you for sharing your experience! Miro is one of my favorite artists. I loved seeing photos of him in his studio and seeing them gives me a better sense of the scale of the work.

    
    
    
    • Nicholas Wilton on October 22, 2017 at 3:32 am

      Yes Irene, pretty impressive…

    I too have had the good fortune of seeing Juan Miro’s work in-person in Spain. Awesome! Thank you for sharing and reminding me of the experience.

    What a privilege to be alone with such amazing art, I’ve had a similar experience and it’s almost like being in the artist’s presence! Thanks for sharing and for your insights to this master’s incredible work. I love the studio images.

    
    
    
    • Nicholas Wilton on October 22, 2017 at 3:31 am

      Yes, Michele, those were these giant photos in the exhibit–I loved them too.

    I loved this museum very much. If you are still in Barcelona, I recommend you to go to the Tàpies museum too…

    Hi Nicholas, the museum is magical and in such a wonderful location with breath taking views. Barcelona is a beautiful city and full of wonderful architecture and art … Gaudi’s work is … well it all blew my mind when visited this great place. I managed to go up to the northern part of Catelonia to see Dali’s museum … now THAT is something else! Jill 🙂

    I was there in May – fantastic. BTW, it’s Joan, not Juan.

    Heah Nick was he working on canvas? Looks like it. What a great experience to see his work up close and personal

    I love that you took time to share this. I also love that you noticed how sections of the larger paintings could stand alone on their own. AND what a trip seeing these now, after taking you class and being in Art2Life Academy…I see his paintings in a whole new way. Fabulous. Thank you.
