This painting was in my private collection for a while and has just sold to someone who is moving to the Andalusia region of Spain.  It is such an incredible honor for me that the new owner likes it so much he'd like to take it with him halfway around the globe.  But what is equally touching for me is that I never thought this painting would some day return to the place where I got the inspiration to create it.

Sometimes I really feel my painting has a mind of its own.  It's hard to explain, but there are times I feel my paintings have a power to make their own decisions.  Recently, for example, there were three people wanting a particular painting of mine.  There were tons of emails going back and forth among us and in about a month the third person became its owner.  I don't think I had any control over the whole situation, which was pretty strange from the beginning till the end.  But it seemed to me things happened the way they did and that the painting couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

This time, too, another of my paintings made its own decision.  "Andalucia, Spain II" has decided that it wants to go home where the original inspiration came from.  Again, I never, ever dreamed of this turn of events.  I had no clue.  Do I sound like a parent of a child leaving home?  But I know instinctively when my paintings are the happiest, like this time, and I am happy for you, too, Andalucia II.

Please read A Mirage in Andalusia, a blog post about my travel experience in the south of Spain, which inspired me to make this painting.
