The most beautiful thing of art is, that it is a mirror of peoples life. Wrong or right, it doesn't matter. Because ages from now, when people see this painting, they will know that this happened in the past.
Love the style though, Kate. The sweep of the pen and the flow ... goes well with the vibrancy of the colours. I like this choice of photo for the theme.
Seeing the cockfight reminds me that I can't believe that Barcelona is outlawing bullfighting.This is quite a riot of color and it captures the heritage of your great city!
In this painting the cockerels look quite benign, almost as if they're dancing together. The colours in the tail feathers are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Such a good feel to it!
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed colorful, and delightful in style, although I do not approve of the glorification of the activity.
ReplyDeleteA good choice,-for todays theme day!:)

ReplyDeleteWonderfully bright colours.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Cockfighting isn't illegal here yet. It's quite common among our paintings too, with the roosters' tails just as colorful.
ReplyDeleteVibrant! This gets the job done.
ReplyDeleteso dynamic and really brightens the cdp theme day.
ReplyDeletehappy august theme day Kate!

ReplyDeleteFits the theme day very well! I love the expressions of those cocks and the colors.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, a very popular sport down my way.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! So ... Latino!
ReplyDeleteThere is certainly a lot of bright color in this painting.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic and really bright. What a colourful painting. Well photographed.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a colourful and successful (month of) August.
Love the colors in this and you are right about the controversial topic. Hope you are enjoying your time here, Kate! Peace.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did I miss this one! I admit being tired towards the end but this would be hard to miss. Nice pick for theme day!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would have something spectacular and you do!
ReplyDeleteLots of great color here! I really like this painting! I've never heard of music at a cockfight, though.
ReplyDeleteThis "illegal" activity is still quite popular in Miami and other parts of Florida.
A mass of colour and perfect for today. Oh dear, hate cock fighting but it still goes on. I do love the naive quality of the art.
ReplyDeleteGreat Theme Day post! Mine is up at Portland Oregon Daily Photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, seem to be a caribbean scene, wonderful colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat, great choice of the theme photo!
ReplyDeleteAlthough animal fighting for human pleasure is awful, the painting is fantastic!
