I have always been a huge fan of Rico and Madrazo and Sanchez Perrier and some of the other amazing Spanish plein air painters. It's great that Rico is getting his due. I'll do a post soon about the catalog. I'm afraid I will have to miss the exhibit itself, though--just too far!

I haven't seen the catalog yet, but I'm expecting to do a blog review to spotlight it when I receive a copy.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-24227142186106350832013-03-18T11:53:11.969-04:002013-03-18T11:53:11.969-04:00James,
