This is another ref from the wetcanvas weekend drawing event. It is painted on  6x6 handmade paper  with my favorite scented watercolors. I love painting clear glass. I have alot of fun with reflections.

Casa Battlo

Casa Batlló 
Using sensuous curves in iron and stone and glittering, luminous trencadis (collage of broken tiles and ceramic) on the facade, the Casa Batlló is widely thought to represent the legend of Saint George (the patron saint of Catalonia) and his dragon. The balconies are protected by imposing skull-like formations and supported by vertebrae-like columns representing the dragon's victims, while the spectacular roof is the dragon's humped and glossy scaled back. Saint George can be seen in the turret, his lance crowned by a cross. Although the admission price may seem steep compared to many other Gaudí attractions, the interior of the building is just as extravagantly spectacular as the exterior, with sinuous staircases, flowing wood paneling, and a stained-glass gallery supported by yet more bone-like columns.
this is a 5x7 rendition of the upper balcony and the scaled roof- fun playing with color

I really liked the intricacies of the metal on this old spigot against simplicity of the broken porcelain tile. the photo ref by just chaos from wetcanvas, taken at Lotusland in Santa Barbara, CA
