Barca means small boat in spanish, I love this particular "barquita" because her owner said it was his more precious possesion, that was the reason for her name....Perlita, just the same as his only daughter.
I would love to hear some comments.
Dennis thanks, first I saturated the colors in Photoshop, clone out a lot of stuff like cars, trash and bicycle,then I took the photograph to a program called Painter where I repainted the image. I took back to Photoshop to accentuate the impasto effect more with an grey layer on overlay mode. Hope it helps!
