e Acropolis. In the summer of 2015, I took my daughter on a two-week trip to study the Greek Acropolis.To achieve this, we split our time, half in the UK, at the British Museum, and the other half in Athens. e relics are found in both cities. On the very rst day in Athens, tired and hungry, we found ourselves on the veranda of the Electra Palace with a view towards the Acropolis. e site was mesmerizing, drawings emerged.
Painted with a palette knife, the colors show the scene in twilight. Orange light, with a tur- quoise sky, imbues the right side while purple and cobalt occupy the left. Below the chang- ing sky rests the old city, the Plaka. Electric lights dot the landscape, greens, blues, and grays and browns complete the painting, and its unique frame.
