When I first layed eyes on this alley in Ankara's Citadel, I was instantly transported to the past - not the past of monuments and grandeur, but of ordinary life. That's what speaks to me most, and I've interpreted this scene several times in different formats and media. This is an informal rendition in ink, watercolor, and gouache on toned paper, 25x20 cm, 2017 Unfortunately, the paper fades rather quickly when exposed to light, so I'm keeping this in a portfolio and not offering it for sale. Location: Ankara, Turkey
