The Yatir Drawings

Drawing at the Point

2

I used to live near a desert lookout, on the outskirts of Arad, called “the POINT,” where I would go to draw.  On clear days you can see beyond the Dead Sea to the hills of Jordan. Bedouin villages are visible from this perch overlooking the Negev, and sometimes I could hear the bells from their flocks of goats and camels.  In summer I would get there at sun up, in order draw for a few hours before it got too hot. Prints of these landscapes can be ordered from me.
