Watery sketches from Turkey
I had the great privilege and pleasure of visiting Turkey in April, as a guest of wonderful British/Iranian friends. Though it was a short 6-day trip, I sketched as much as I could. I was enchanted by the places and people I encountered. One glorious day was spent sailing along the Aegean coast. The water in early afternoon was purely turquoise in shallow spots.

What wonderful colours. Ive sailed in the Aegean Sea and it is really something quite special and you've captured it perfectly.
I love the freshness of your sketches, the spontaneity! It must have been a wonderful journey -- thanks for sharing!
really nice.
Only in the Mediterranean countries are the seas such wonderful colours of turquoise. You've caught the colours and the moments well.
I'd have been hard pressed to come back home again!
gorgeous evocative sketches and you've caught the colour and light so vividly

Thanks, everyone. Jeanette, you can see how long I've lingered over these---it's been very hard to not be there!
Lucky you!
