Primier Silk Painters from Spain

Joanna, Cecília, Mercè, Asun, and me in Zaragoza
One of the benefits of travel is visiting with friends that you admire and enjoy. My friends Cecília and Mercè (sisters) drove all the way from Barcelona with adorable little Joanna to see us in Zaragoza. Here we are promenading down Alfonso street with my friend Asun looking darn cute.

Cecelia and Merce are well known in Europe for their innovative and beautiful hand painted silk panels. You may know them as the ladies of Desedamas.

My collection of their work is slowly growing. I especially love the images of the meninas that they make based upon the little maids in paintings by Diego Velazquez. Aren't they fun!

It is special when someone meets you half way, better when they come a long way. These are talented ladies and it looks like you girls might have had a fun time out and about. I like the Menina holding your thread.
