Book Description
"A View From My Window" is a series of watercolor paintings I created during the COVID-19 lockdown. The series began when I joined a group on Facebook that has members from around the globe who post a picture of the view from their window. I found myself transported around the world to the most beautiful sights. I asked permission of each photographer to use their image in a painting, and the series came to life. This portfolio shows a display of the painting I made and the photograph I chose. Each piece touched me in a different way. I selected out of thousands of pictures the following 40 images to paint. They range from places like California, New York, Idaho, Nova Scotia, South Africa, Denmark, Italy, Germany, and more. I found myself transported to other lands while painting these pieces. They brought me peace during a difficult time. This series depicts the beauty in the world seen during the dark time of a pandemic.

A Gringa in Bogotá
Author: June Carolyn Erlick
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292722974
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
To many foreigners, Colombia is a nightmare of drugs and violence. Yet normal life goes on there, and, in Bogotá, it's even possible to forget that war still ravages the countryside. This paradox of perceptions—outsiders' fears versus insiders' realities—drew June Carolyn Erlick back to Bogotá for a year's stay in 2005. She wanted to understand how the city she first came to love in 1975 has made such strides toward building a peaceful civil society in the midst of ongoing violence. The complex reality she found comes to life in this compelling memoir. Erlick creates her portrait of Bogotá through a series of vivid vignettes that cover many aspects of city life. As an experienced journalist, she lets the things she observes lead her to larger conclusions. The courtesy of people on buses, the absence of packs of stray dogs and street trash, and the willingness of strangers to help her cross an overpass when vertigo overwhelms her all become signs of convivencia—the desire of Bogotanos to live together in harmony despite decades of war. But as Erlick settles further into city life, she finds that "war in the city is invisible, but constantly present in subtle ways, almost like the constant mist that used to drip down from the Bogotá skies so many years ago." Shattering stereotypes with its lively reporting, A Gringa in Bogotá is must-reading for going beyond the headlines about the drug war and bloody conflict.
