Oh yes, smashing piece and different too. Sketch books provide a wealth of subjects and I am breezing through mine now.

Funny how white buildings light up so differently in warm climates! I love this Alan….the terracotta works so well behind the dark blue/green of the tress. I want to go there now!

I love this Alan, and it certainly looks like a place I would like to visit! :-)
