Perro Semihundido

This image has been used a thousand times. Which one has not??
I guess Goya is reflecting, without conscious intention, how do we feel from time to time.

So many questions about this figure ... It was part of the 'black paintings' that were removed from the walls of 'La Quinta del Sordo'. What a gloomy place it must have been!

Where is he looking? Is there another figure? Is he sunken in mud?

The very same questions I have for myself now. But don't let it all be despair! Still good stuff to look forward to... Specially going back home for Christmast. I don't care much about this time of the year, but I do care about chorizo, croquetas and tortilla.

So it's high time for me to write down my New Year's resolutions then:

Ummmhhh..... well yes ...... get back, get back... get back to where you once belonged ...
Get back jojo!!!
