Haikus and watercolor share a lack of artifice, an immediacy, vitality. A haiku is often compared to a pebble cast into the pond of the reader's mind, calling forth associations of memory.

Santa María de Cameros, Terroba de Cameros, Soto en Cameros, Treguajantes, Islallana, the Leza River, Ebro Park in Logroño, the vegetable gardens of Madre de Díos, Daroca, the beaches of Cambrils.
Her watercolors are helpings of rescued existence, captured pieces in this ever flowing river.


Synopsis

The book is composed of eighty watercolors and their respective haikus.
Begoña writes like she paints, creating a delicious path where color continues to have a place, but so does the song of a grasshopper and the heat, a good mood and silence, and other matters that transcend the human sphere.
