Rooftops in Barcelona. This is the view from my apartment balcony in El Born. I just found this picture- it’s about 2 years old- in one of my many piles in the studio. She hung out the clothes in her bikini. I loved that.

Moat at Montjuic
If I remember correctly, this was formerly the moat at Montjuic Castle in Barcelona. Now it’s a formal garden.

Last summer I saw a show of tiny Picasso sketches of Barcelona and loved them. Was going to skip this medieval church but an antique nun talked me into going inside, where I found another of his scenes. The cloister at Sant Pau del Camp.

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.
Construction Site, Barcelona

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.

Last Light, Barcelona
Painted on location in Barcelona. This is the view from my apartment on the 5th floor of a building from 1770. That’s right, five floors of tiny winding stairs. With my easel and tripod, and on the way back up with barras de pan, I barely fit in that staircase. Fortunately, I have arch support insoles.
