There are strong notes and colours, soft ones, rythms, silences, symphonies or minimalistic pieces of music or paintings. After all, a painting is like a musical composition, with its swing, harmony, rythm, balance or great loud beat.</span><br /><br /></span><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8v8WG9p4YCkDRw41wI7-muaumLgSaT_t2THSE4uAKsWN6q-_p3m_-Gb6Rx1eLeSTw3cB1vuSwToTPFGbaCX79HyHMIPtBT0KKJTGQdc12I-Puf-IoHSggnped9KHE5xnjAL83s-fWAZn/s1600-h/NES10.jpg"></a></p><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442709859866372418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4Ma_aL7VTLfUBlkM8224YGYDnpg6HYYJHbmnBILfJVe2FfhoLBTE2YIpPy-1STX6F75fLlmeigLmUBAIRryC6NK-CwkAzQNIKju4CSa89vWgyBtYD9aEVRP2IQSb7S0pf0TTbP306v1q/s320/NES15.jpg" border="0" /></span></div>Enjoy Painting Cataloniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17115158014730454973noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336039878247855116.post-42634167432628349072010-02-18T10:28:00.000-08:002010-02-27T12:07:16.995-08:00Nuevos Cursos 2010 - New courses 2010<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T3X3N3zoxGU&hl=es_ES&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T3X3N3zoxGU&hl=es_ES&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Victor F.
