Cumalikizik

































Yesterday I went with my students and some painting faculty by bus to Bursa for the opening of their Senior Exhibition. It looked pretty damn good and my young painters were happy (they sang all the way home on the bus).
We visited a beautiful village at the base of Mount Uludag, Cumalikizik. It was established in the 12th century. Many of the Ottoman houses are restored and surrounded by gorgeous flowers and cherry trees hanging with fruit. It is still a living village besides being a tourist destination.

Gram, I am sending you all my love.
