Am back in the cafe in La Cala where there is a sectioned off area for the pensioners to play dominoes. This is a favourite place of mine and worth the 30 minute walk along the beach. Great coffee and the men hardly move as they play.
I recognise the men playing dominoes as I have drawn or painted them many times before. Sometimes they come and look at the paintings and pass comment. Today Manuel, back to me wearing a red T shirt, is very taken with his portrait and asks to take a photo, he wants me to paint his grand daughter. He gives me his email address and I send him some pictures. Another of the old boys remembers that I drew him last year.
