Saudi Arabia Series
The Saudi Arabia Series began while living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 1977 through 1979. Some 10 drawings around Jeddah, Riyahd, and Dahran were done during this time. These drawings can be seen at the Drawing link above. From these drawings only three paintings have been completed.The two large canvases of Riyahd now have some historical interest. The wonderful indigenous architecture that these two scenes depict have been lost forever to urban modernization.
