The Giant Dipper in Mission Beach… painted on location. I could hear the people on the roller coaster screaming, and I could also hear weirdos in the park screaming various epithets.

Plaça del Rei, Barcelona Painting

Home of the City Museum of Barcelona. Underneath the Plaça del Rei there are Roman ruins… I spent too much time drawing down there and couldn’t finish the history tour upstairs before the museum closed. But I successfully argued they should let me in a second day- “I thought the ticket was good for a year,” I kept repeating until they gave up and let me in.

Ciutadella, Barcelona

Not sure what this place is, an attractive neoclassical court with trees planted in a pattern.

Since it’s at the edge of the Ciutadella park- formally a citadel- this might be an antique building, but is quite likely a 20th century structure in a historicizing style.

I forced Mike to pose here because I thought this was the same door from a Picasso I’d seen at the Museu Picasso. Turns out I was wrong. Same church though.

I like scruffy places like this. 15 years ago when I lived in Spain, the old city was much grittier, and I kind of missed that. So on this trip I went looking for the areas that were more lived in and not fixed up for the tourists.
