It's such a treat receiving cards from unexpected parts of the world. Robyn had a recent trip to Granada Spain, and I get to be the lucky recipient of the card painted while she was there!
This is the Alcazaba military area of the Alhambra as viewed from Robyn's rooftop. Robyn had to climb a steep ladder to get to it. Given how much I hate ladders and easily suffer vertigo I'm especially grateful!
I am not sure what time of day this was done but it's bright sky and hot! Great colours and shadow work and I love all the lushness of the foliage contrasting against the imposing architecture.
Thanks Robyn - it's beautiful!

Indeed a very nice card of a famous place, in the typical Spanish colours.
I think this composition is especially good - looking slightly up at the building - and Robyn risks life and limb to get a view she likes - a true artist !!
Especially tis beautiful card, like many other ones in this great project frustrating me because it tells me where I haven't been yet.
I've always wanted to see the Alahambra! Wish I'd been there with you Robyn....
Thank you all. I think this was one of my better days. It was early in the morning before I had time to think of other things to put off having a go.
Katherine, I want to go back. Name a date! I could spend a week there.
Beautiful, what a wonderful painting! I have to appreciate Robyns effort in plein air painting! I would love to paint here too!
Oh, I want to join you too if you go back (I can always dream!) - love the colours, shapes and shadows, its a lovely painting!
A very impressive building robyn and you've captured its majestic forms beautifully...but don't you always, whether in Tscany or Granada!
