Granada received us late in the day. The bus dumped my brother and me out after a very long ride and we wandered the dark and cloistered medieval streets looking for our hidden hostel. It was magical. Exploring the next morning was so exciting - to the Alhambra and all around. Of course, I was more interested in the neighborhood context near the base of this great fortress. Adding color to this one really brings the warmth of the Andalusian sun on terracotta roofs to my mind.

Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre captivated me with its cliffs and sea, stacked architecture, glorious colors and textures, the colorful boats tethered and floating in gently lapping waves. Cinque Terre was a midpoint in our trip where we found a bot of respite, cooking in our own (temporary) kitchen with fresh handmade pasta, pesto, tomatoes and bread from the shop around the corner.

I made the ink drawings while traveling with my brother over holiday break in 2007; the travel was a generous gift from the architect I worked for in Savannah Georgia. Combining the separate places highlights their formal similarities in this composition. I used watercolor to interpret and enliven and re-interpret the drawings here, in December 2022.
