• “I have traveled widely with my paint brushes to see and paint landscapes,flora, and bird life.” – Francisco Hernandez

• Last Summer was created in the Summer of 2012 during Hernandez’s stay in his homeland of Spain, before his return to the United States. This was one of his favorite places to visit because he loved this spot in which he could go by himself and meditate.

• This piece connects to the theme of feeling a sense of happiness by being in nature, because it was created in hopes of capturing a moment in which someone felt a happiness that they never wanted to lose sight of.
