El Catedral Basilica de San Francisco de Asis, 5 x 7 watercolor card
In these confined times, travel of any kind is more than welcome, whether via TV travel videos, books, old photos, or even dreams and memories.
Watching one travel video of New England last night, hoping to plan a trip there, it made two factual errors. Second one was this phrase, "Harvard, one of the oldest universities in America." WRONG: The Oldest, 1636.
But the one that first caught my attention, and helped spur today's watercolor, was the comment that the Pilgrims established the first European settlement in America in 1620. WRONG on three counts. Vikings, about 1000. Jamestown, 1607. And Santa Fe, the capital of Spanish New Mexico, 1610.
Ok, I'm a nerd, but it matters.
Thus my imagination traveled today, from memories, and thus today's little watercolor greeting card, done quickly from memory, blurred by memories, even if I can't visit again in person yet.
