Necochea.......

 I spent the last two days at my parents house in Necochea, a small town in the seaside 500 km south of Buenos Aires ; I grew up here with a close relationship with the sea. The beaches are wide and the grains of sand fine; a Poseidon statue overlooks the area.

The dynamic and beauty of the sea is one of the things I miss the most, always different, the sea looks like alive.......

I decided to go and visit Nicasio Diaz Llanos, a local painter that lives close to the light house in Quequen and works a lot with sea scenery …..I have some of his work in Calgary and I bought an oil painting to donate to Unicef, to  help the fund raising.

Nicasio work is influenced by the sea and the port life, his house welcome you with a statue of a Jesuit priest (he admire them) , from his atelier you can see the sea and the beach. I choose an oil painting that I liked a lot......it will be part of the silent auction in the Chef dinner in Calgary (October), the proceedings will be donated to the Guatemala campaign.

If somebody is interested in knowu=ing more about Nicasio, her you have his site : www.diazllanos.com/
 

Tomorrow I'll leave to Baires to do wrap up the trip........... and the site.
