Because so many people have downloaded Theo MacKay's watercolor of the dog Ayyusha, it seems appropriate to share more of Theo's work. This little sketch is of Fawzi, another Egyptian dog.
In 1965-1966, Theo and Pierre MacKay spent a year at the British School at Ankara. During that year they traveled with Ayyusha and a Landrover to sixty-one of the sixty-seven vilayets in Turkey. Theo painted the town scenes below from hotel windows between arrival and nightfall, and the flowers at lunchtime stops by the road.
Because today is her daughter Alexandra's birthday, this is for Alexandra, with love.
