Merche Martin Morillo has an exhibition of paintings in the Sala O’Daly on the Calle Real, in Santa Cruz de La Palma, entitled “Galaxies and other Universes”.
I like the paintings of fishes, but I prefer the astronomical themed paintings. Merche has interpreted subjects like pulsars and asteroids freely, rather than attempting copies of astronomical photos, which makes for a much more interesting result.

The exhibition is open from 10:30 am – 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm. The last day is Saturday 29th, when it will pen from 10:30 am – 1:30 pm. Well worth a look.
