I went to Tenerife in 1973. I was on a ship that called into Santa Cruz de Tenerife and it was raining. In the afternoon we went on a bus tour over the mountains to Puerto de la Cruz. It was hot and sunny there. I remember as the road rose out of Santa Cruz seeing slums and poverty. It seems to have all changed. Spain, of course was a lot poorer generally in those days. However in my hunt for somewhere to draw, I found that Tenerife seems to be solid apartments or town houses. Probably holiday apartments, or occupied all year round by English people. This is 4 Calle de la Cruz de Almáciga (see it on Google Street View). It is along the coast road west of Puerto de la Cruz.

Wendy, this is simply stunning. Your work is always so beautiful.
Wendy – Obviously it’s been too long since I visited your blog, since you have so many things posted that I didn’t see before. I love the liquid pencil pieces below of the bird and the leaves. Lovely!!
