Girl at the Gate of the Haram, Jerusalem

5" x 7" watercolor

commentary on recent paintings

in the human drama, it's lovely to see life framed in the doorways, the relatonship between inside and out, as well as the penetrating sunlight onto cold stone floors

the ancient walkways have seen so much down the line of history

the openings behave like camera shutters where moments in ordinary life suddenly get captured and become importan

the haram is the sanctuary, where the ancient temples were located
