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.

Puerto Pesquero, Marbella

Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford paper 300g

Puerto Pesquero, Marbella, also known as the La Bajadilla port.  Not as opulent as it's neighbour close by, Puerto Banus, but none the less a nice sized marina with plenty of posh yachts to admire, and a nice walk around the perimeter.  It's about to be made a whole lot larger to take in Cruise ships by 2015.
