In ‘Las Chimeneas de Mairena’ I wanted to portray the feeling of wandering through the village of Mairena, making a painting that reflected how I felt about the visual delights that presented themselves as I walked. One moment I was enjoying a tantalising glimpse of the surrounding countryside through gaps between houses, the next step taking me around a corner revealing a panoramic view of the surrounding region. Being on the side of a mountain gives rise to some unusual views: looking through a chimney pot to the hills beyond was unexpected, which hints at the steepness of some of the village streets!

And oh, those chimneys! Exuding character and personality I found myself giving them names;  can you spot ‘The Detective’, ‘The Cupcake’, ‘Merlin’, ‘The Sentry’, and  ‘The Twins’ ? For me the hand made qualities of the chimneys spoke of the people who have lived there, each chimney being carefully sculpted, evoking thoughts of its builder and the family living beneath it.

Las Chimeneas expresses my memories of the times I have spent in Mairena, not one view but many, of the feeling of being there and experiencing the atmosphere and something of the history of this delightful place.
