Her dog, “Free”, a golden retriever, lays on his side in a corner further showing that this is a comfortable place, at times coming over to get love or to give comfort to his mistress . From what one can divine of her process is as follows: She is intrigued by scenes, moments in time, which can be derived from something she has seen while walking with Free. Her art evolves as naturally as breathing, and she smiles, delightedly, throughout. She next begins to add color with a brush, blocking in and defining the continuing direction of the composition.

She then must wait before getting to the final concluding steps. This is a time for her of great anticipation. The canvas is calling for her to continue, but she must wait to get to her favorite part of her process.

Rich gobs of buttery color are applied lovingly, in broad and small strokes completing and enriching the compositions until she is satisfied. This is her happiest time. Finally once all is complete and dry she will sign and seal all with varnish signifying her approval. And another canvas awaits. Maria Dolores Rubio has had a gratifying career as a full-time artist since the 1970’s. She studied with the masters and teachers of her city, Barcelona, until she had developed her own uniquely signature style which we now admire. She has shown in museums, galleries and private collections in Spain, France and in the United States to great acclaim and success.
