Drawings from Turkey - Sultanahmet Camii Istanbul

 This is the "Blue Mosque." I spent many Saturdays sitting in the court yard doing this drawing.  People would sit quitly next to me and watch and sometimes talk. I remember I one man - he invited me to stay in his family's apartment in Ankara.  He wrote his name and address there on the back of my notebook. His name was Necati.

I put a little X in pencil (easily washed away) on the exact stone where I would sit and would come back to to continue the drawing.  I liked coming back and finding that little marked - mostly rubbed away week after week.
