I recently completed a small watercolor painting of the Synagoga del Tránsito in Toledo, Spain. The Synagogue was built by Samuel Levi in the fourteenth century in Morisco style. It was his personal house of worship. Although it was taken over by the church in 1492, the building has been restored and is now the Sephardi Museum. The painting was done as a Bat Mitzvah gift for friend, Gail Levy. The flatness of the facade was a surprise to me but I was intrigued by how many surface treatments were evident. I enjoyed painting all of the textures and the intense blue sky over Toledo.
