Landscape in Cappadocia

A watercolor landscape painting I painted in Konya and gave to the lead tour guide Taylan.
Here I was trying to go from a wide view to a more closed in view of the land.

This is a photo I took of Taylan Tasbasi the lead tour guide.
I enjoyed his unpredictable sense of humor and rambling curiosity.

Landscape in Cappadocia

A watercolor I did in Pamukkale and I gave it to Burak who was one of the tour guides.
I like this painting it seems to capture some of the magic quality of the land in Cappadocia.

I took this photo of Burak in Konya.  Burak is explaining  the poet  Rumi to the group
at the Mosque where Rumi is laid to rest.
This post is for Vanessa who sent me such a wonderful christmas card.

Landscape from Sketchbook

I made this up while sketching on the bus.  This image is from memories of my 2011 Turkey trip while on my 2012 Turkey trip.  

Old crumbling wall

A painting of an old wall in its last stage before total obliteration.

Old Hillside at Assos

This painting of a hillside at Assos in Turkey is one of my favorites .
Nothing man made just a hillside with very odd interesting rock formations.

Old Tower

An old tower crumbling and overgrown with weeds, inside there were many snakes crawling on the rocks and dirt.
