So before I went to Portugal, I was able to fly into Madrid for a quick visit with some friends there as well as some museum study time at the Prado. I've been wanting to study some paintings there for the last 10 years, but never could get there. I was able to spend a few days there this time, but still need way more time.

It really is an amazing city and my friends there made me feel like a local instantly, thanks so much Borja, Jorge, Maria, Nacho, and Reuben! Anyway, here are some pics from the trip below, including some shots from when I was introduced to and spent some time with my painting idol Antonio Lopez, Borja, surprised me with this meeting and I was literally in Antonio's living room without knowing where I was, until Borja and Jorge surprised me with where I was and who we were talking with (Antonio's wife and daughter).

Then we spent 2 hours or so at his studio talking about Art in general and his work and philosophies. I wish that I had paid more attention in my HS David Kassan - Portfolio of Works: Draw XEQOS
