Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (February 27, 1863 - August 10, 1923), was a Spanish painter, born in Valencia, who excelled in the painting of portraits, landscapes, and monumental works of social and historical themes. His most typical works are characterized by a dexterous representation of the people and landscape under the sunlight of his native land. .
"Walk on the beach" is one of my favourite paintings and, although it has nothing to do with English, I wanted to have it here and share it with all of you. I hope you like it too!

Thanks for your visit, Gonzalo. I love Sorolla, and especially this painting. Don't worry about your English, it is not that bad! By the way, we will visit Gibraltar in March.

Dear Marisa,
At last I´ve decided to use your blog to share comments(you know how much "technology challenged" I am- almost an hour learning how to use HTML tags-!!!!). I couldn´t resist the temptation just because of that very picture I looove it! I´m so fond of impressionists that I´d like to go on the schol trip to Paris with the sole purpose of visiting the d´Orsay Museum. Besides, I´ve always wanted to have a very big copy of "Walk on the Beach" at home. My moher and I even "made plans"once to teal and take it home. Jejejeje!
See you tomorrow!
So hungry that I "ate" the S in steal. Sorry. Bye!
LOL!!! I thought you were imitating our students accent (without the s)!!!
What a nice surprise! At first, I didn't know your identity but when I went on reading, I guessed.
I didn't know you liked this painting. We have another thing in common!!! I have always loved it, in fact, I went to Sorolla's museum in Madrid just to see it. I'm very fond of impressionism too.
See you tomorrow. Thanks a lot for your comment and I hope to see you around very often. Bye!!!
