For Eileen
Recently, inspired by Eileen's efforts and my class in book illustration techniques, I've been trying to draw or paint every day. Well, almost.
This is one of last weekend's watercolour paintings. The courtyard in Malta. Bright sunshine on white rock: so bright it hurts your eyes. Smell of water and blossoms. The lemon grove and the alley walk. I can almost see the baker coming through the big wooden gate, loaves big as pillows, full of holes for butter and honey.
I think the cyprus trees were blacker in the sun.

ARGH.
Maybe I'll give it another try?

Love the painting, Bev. Very nice!
Fabulous!!! Want to see more. You can't just tempt me with only one. Was it based on one of your photos?
Yup, a photo of the courtyard at Bubaqra tower, where we stayed a few years ago...
(ahh.)
