Tehran
Watercolour, marker and crayon

From April 5 to 17 I
was one of 20 participants on a marvelous tour ‘Treasures of Iran’ organized by
the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and guided by Barry Till, the Gallery’s
Curator of Asian Arts.
I started (barely) several
sketches while I was there, but we had so many places to go and things to do
that I am only now actually finishing any of them.
This first sketch is
the view of the Milad Tower and the Alborz Mountains from our hotel in Tehran ... except
I have made it the view from nearby Laleh Park and included the hotel (the
whitish building with the distinctive Y-shape) in the picture. Because I can.
