I’m still very much a romantic and a teenager when it comes to European culture – I think it comes from growing up in Canada during a period of isolation in the provincial sense, being somewhat pretentious and not identifying with all things Canadian. My eyes were always directed towards other shores. It’s only in recent years that there has been a blossoming in Canadian arts and letters.<br />So I hope we can in fact travel again in late fall.cohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-35277741741382640602010-06-21T00:50:21.449-04:002010-06-21T00:50:21.449-04:00I can hear the music.

What an adventure it would be to teach sculpture there or what would you say to olive farming or soccer coaching even though I know zip about either.<br />xoxoxoxoMarciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-87618631295442957062010-06-20T23:17:03.831-04:002010-06-20T23:17:03.831-04:00Thank you Sam Art Dog!

I love everything Spanish myself, right now – the language, the olive oil, the wine the marzipan, architecture, landscape, music – is it possible I might have to become a long term resident there? Ok, why not!cohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-47871278620226745422010-06-20T23:05:57.856-04:002010-06-20T23:05:57.856-04:00Thank you Caroline!

You could go back and teach sculpture -- there's no one better at it than you. I'd love to see flamenco, but could forgo bullfights -- I just love animals too much. I think it's okay to edit experience.<br />As for Flamenco watch the National Film Board movie Flamenco at 5:15 -- my client Pam was in it.Barbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-91567854994524964642010-06-19T13:42:20.110-04:002010-06-19T13:42:20.110-04:00Great movement in this piece!
Listen to Caroline;...Great movement in this piece!<br /><br />Listen to Caroline; she's so right about Jerez. What a birthplace it was! Of both flamenco and sherry (the word is a bastardization of Jerez). Seville is also a must; its cathedral is magnificent.SamArtDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322356829966791319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-21658351272687811092010-06-19T05:22:42.979-04:002010-06-19T05:22:42.979-04:00There's a great amount of expressionin this CO...There's a great amount of expressionin this COhen, it's really something. The softness of it's appearence defies the hardness of the material - it's a great contrast!<br /><br />Should you get to return to Spain in the autumn and decide to see some flamenco then head to Jerez if you can (not far from Seville). It's the birthplace of flamenco as well as some amazing equestrain arts (ladies will dance flamenco with the horses - it's astonishing!). The backstreets are filled with tatty, unasuming doorways which lead to a whole other world of rhythm, passion and the best flamenco I've ever seen.Caroline Peña Brayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518853222220324027noreply@blogger.com
