Maria Melero

J, a fellow parishioner gave me this rock today. It was painted by a neighbor of his, a Spanish painter named Maria Melero, who recently passed away. J remembered that I knew Maria - she offered Spanish conversation classes which I participated in for a year when I lived in Chelsea, though I haven't been in touch with her since - and when her neighbors were invited to take some of the artworks she had left, he picked this up for me. Looking online I found many images of her paintings. The one below - I can't find its title or when she painted it, but that is her face - is lovely in so many ways. Descansa en paz, Maria.
