Oil on canvas 12"x16" PRICE: $Sold/Vendido
The name Alhambra comes from an Arabic root which means "red or crimson castle", it has been many years that i didn't do a painting of a Spanish Landscape.

This mountain was in my surroundings along my childhood .
El nombre de La Alhambra proviene de una raiz Arabe que significa"Castillo rojo o carmesi". Hace muchos anos que no pintaba un paisaje Espanol. la Alhambra siempre ha sido un lugar que amo, asi que decidi pintarla , y tambien La Sierra nevada.
