"Keith Achepohl embarked upon these watercolors after a trip to Egypt in 1976. In Egypt he was struck by the beauty and the power of land, water, and sky, and by the myths and magic behind temples, tombs and obelisks. Undoubtedly the impressions of that stay in Egypt and elsewhere along the Mediterranean Sea helped to shape his visions and to enrich his vocabulary of shapes and colors. The simple and powerful geometry of Egyptian monuments, the clarity of colors, the depth of the blue sky had an effect on him...these watercolors seem images emanating from an unreal world having its own characteristics, a kind of dream world..."
