| ABOUT THE COVER
|
|
This is another in a series of covers by ophthalmologist Barbara Arnold, MD, a watercolor painted in October 2003. The setting is the small Spanish town of Carmona, dominated by a 15th century church, the Iglesia de San Pedro. The square is empty in the painting, but it wasn't when she was sketching it.
"While I sat on a park bench, identical to the one I sketched, many people strolled by - seniors out for morning coffee, kids on bicycles and skateboards - enjoying the freedon of open space. Park benches encircled this central area for a restful stop under a shade tree, and a chance to drop one's shopping bags and to meet and greet neighborss."
The original is 18 by 24 inches on 140-pound Arches cold press cotton rag. bjarnold@ucdavis.edu
