The Sea of Galilee can get very stormy in a short time.

As someone who is illustrating the Bible I would be more interested in visiting the areas which have changed the least e.g. the Sea of Galilee, Mount of Olives, Temple Mount etc - I would be less interested to visit the various churches and shrines that have been built over the supposed holy sites.<br /><br />I would also love to sketch the ruins of ancient buildings to get a feel for the building materials and methods. I was interested to hear Elsie Anna Woods comments about the brightness of the light in Israel. This was also something that Darius Gilmont noticed when he first moved to Israel. Having been brought up in Manchester which like Seattle has the nickname 'Rainy city' It's hard to image a different type of light existing!<br /><br />I was watching a TV program 'Coast' recently which looks into the history of the towns and cities along the UK coastline and they mentioned that many artists congregate in the southern town of St Ives again due to the quality of the light there.Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-33934087002577744432012-01-30T23:00:36.085+00:002012-01-30T23:00:36.085+00:00Paul, That's a good suggestion.Paul, That's a good suggestion.deborawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379928023984310298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-24893777410190077152012-01-30T05:30:01.842+00:002012-01-30T05:30:01.842+00:00For those who can afford it and love painting this...For those who can afford it and love painting this sounds like a great vacation. <br />I'd make the schedule less hectic and stay in one place a little longer. You need to take in the atmosphere of a place to make your painting have more meaning and not just be an exercise.Paul Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087250570346996589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-50277618101615836072012-01-30T04:00:35.211+00:002012-01-30T04:00:35.211+00:00I agree, Graham.
