Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, 2

Landscape Watercolour of Las Palmas Gran Canaria, 15" x 11" on Bockingford Rough 140 lbs

Las Palmas, 'capital' of Gran Canaria, enjoys a great climate - sub tropical, not too hot, not too cold, and just enough rainfall to stop it turning into a desert.  Some days in the winter can be quite cloudy, yet still so bright.  Wandering through the quite modern city, with it's tall apartment blocks, you get glimpses inland toward the central mountain range.

Courtyard of the Museo Nestor, Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford paper 140lbs

The court yard of the Museo Nestor in Las Palmas Gran Canaria, just beyond the Hotel Santa Catalina. A welcoming enclosed space with places to sit, and while I was there a local folk festival was in full swing with a choir and band performing traditional songs and dances. A nice little stop before walking over to the old city.
