"Painted on a trip to Greece with my mom in 1962. I went off to college and my parents went traveling! In Rhodes, they were visiting a longtime friend who was an admiral in the Coast Guard. Dad described the girl in `Acropolis' as a `child at Propylea, Athens' and it's fascinating the way the child is looking so directly at the artist as Dad sketched the scene. Recently, a Greek friend told me that this part of the Acropolis [the Propylea is the monumental gateway and was designed by the architect Mnesikles and constructed in 437-432 B.C.] is off-limits to tourists. The painting was part of the American Watercolor Society 95th traveling exhibit in 1962-63. Then it was shown in Aurora (Chicago), IL show in 1966."
