Modernity meets antiquity in Segovia Spain. Where a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct stands as a testament to the past, modern life continues apace at the high-speed train station on the town's edge.

To arrive in Segovia is to take a trip back 2,000 years. No brochure photo could have prepared me for the grandeur and stateliness of the Roman aqueduct rising 28 meters above me. Every huge granite block is right where the craftsmen balanced it in the first century. (Mystical folklore tells of a tricky bargain with the Devil.) Not one gram of mortar holds arch above arch, windows to the blue Spanish sky. The immutable law of gravity is all it took. When I was a boy living in Spain, this aqueduct brought fresh water 15 kilometers to Segovia as it had done for two millennia. This artwork is about the aesthetics of power. The functional sculpture creates a rhythmic, hypnotic visual pattern with its sheer repetition of identical arches. Uniformity was a deliberate artistic choice meant to project the power of Rome across the lands it dominated. It is also a message to us in the 21st century from the most innovative of Roman artisans: You build for a lifetime; we built for eternity. Image 17x11 inches on Rives 100% cotton fine-art paper with deckled edges. 10 colors, each hand-printed by the artist. Limited edition of 14 prints. Signed and numbered by the artist. Each sheet bears my Authentic emboss and comes with an Artist’s Certificate of Authenticity. Also available framed. Device screen colors are inexact. This is a hand-crafted artwork.

Looking from an archer's position in a castle tower across at a larger tower, this image captures the grand feeling of Ávila. It is inspiring to imagine medieval guards standing where I stood to sketch this scene, watching out over the plains to the west, hearing hooves and carts on the cobbles around the entry gate below. Ávila is sometimes called the "City of Stones and Saints" due to its connection to prominent Spanish mystics and its well-preserved architecture dating back to the 5th century. The Old Town of Ávila has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This piece is on exhibit at MAC Gallery in an invitational show throughout September and October. I'm very pleased that my extensive work on this piece turned out well, if I may say so. I hope you will find a place in your collection for it. Limited edition of 12 prints. Image 11x14 inches. Hand printed, 10 colors, on Rives 100% cotton art paper, 14×19 inches intended to be trimmed for framing. Signed and numbered by the artist.
