Last watercolor made before Dad's exhibition of Malta watercolors here on Malta!

                                      TOWERING ABOVE

On Friday, April 22nd, dad and I spent the afternoon at the 17th Century fortress known as the Red Tower on Malta, sketching and writing. We had passed the Red Tower, dramatically situated high atop the Marfa Ridge several times on our drives to sketching destinations and were taken with the imposing sight of this impressive fortress. We arrived in time to get a talk and tour with the volunteer guide, Judge Jo Gallia De Bono and a view of the sweeping, panoramic landscape to be seen most dramatically from the top of the tower. This majestic crenelated tower, which offers views of much of Malta and across to Comino and Gozo, was saved by Din I-Art Helwa, National Trust of Malta.

Dad shows his watercolor to a lovely couple visiting from Denmark. 

This watercolor, along with 20 others, all created on malta and Gozo in the past two weeks, will be on view in a day-long exhibition today, Saturday, April 23rd from 12 until 6pm at the Corinthia Palace Hotel and Spa in Attard, Malta. For those on the island, do stop by! We'd love to meet you and chat about our adventures here on this magical archipelago of islands.

And the spectacular view from the top!
