This photo was taken on New Year’s Day 2021.

This Plaza always has a lot of foot traffic. The only day I felt comfortable painting here was when most of Madrid was sleeping. You can see from the picture that the plaza is empty.

It was freezing cold; it really was. I had always wanted to paint the iconic TIO PEPE. I’m so glad I did. I am really happy with the result. I am keeping the watercolor for myself. However, I found a cute, useful way that I could share this image with others who are also fond of the TIO PEPE icon.

This cute zipper handbag comes in three sizes. It could be used as a change purse for men or women. It could also be used as a makeup bag to carry lipstick and keys. I just think it’s cute. It would make a nice gift for anyone who knows Madrid.
