Spent a few hours yesterday writing a grant to help make my January 2027 class abroad more affordable for my students. All that time writing details about the course itinerary and what we will see and study has me even more eager to return to Morocco and Spain. This morning I woke up wanting to spend a few minutes painting so I took ten minutes to paint this scene from Sevilla. Just a postage-stamp sized sketch, but enough to help me immerse my memory in some beautiful details.

A hand-drawn sketch depicts historic buildings and lush greenery in Sevilla, with a note indicating that it is from a photo dated January 12, 2024, and painted today, 13 Sept 2026.
