Pages from a Spanish notebook

The road to Torredonjimenos and Jaen curving up the hill with olive trees, the old man who sits near the farmhouse is a speck on the dirt road, and the church of StAmador, from the terrace at Martos, 30 September 2005.

Brian Savile and Rafael Cruz-Conde in their garden on the left, and on the right a drawing of the Alhambra at Granada, 6 November 2005.

I am holding the notebook in my lefthand, the camera phone in my right.

Off the road and up a canyon near Antequeros, driving through a storm with snow at the summit, on the way from Martos to Malaga and Fuengirola on the coast, 13 November 2005.

I am a passenger, drawing quickly in the back seat of Rafael's car for the 15 seconds it takes to pass the view. I finish the drawing later, after breakfast the next day.

Looking towards the incline up to Micas from the terrace at Mary's in Sierrezuelo, above Fuengirola, 8 October 2005.

Fuengirola, 6 October 2006.
