Hi Renate!
There actually isn't all that much that I feel I SHOULD say ( or 'try to say' ) about this wonderfully interesting watercolor,my friend!
I think that it's an OUTSTANDING piece! BRAVO!

    thank you- a memory thing.I have been back to see the place- I loved it then and now- the colours are kind of whiter in reality-

This image strikes me as somewhat different, it is colorful and highly detailed. The lines move away from your signature ebb and flow and the thought jumps in my mind that you remember more than your story supports. Possibly it is as you say, these are memories of others planted. I do see proportion in the imagery that a small child certainly would have. Doors in a row that are not prominent but almost hidden away, great arches shielding powerful individuals and a rainbow detailed with hope yet masked by an almost overpowering starkness. Beautiful image, interesting and thought provoking. Keep them coming... I probably got it all wrong but this is grand to view.

    no, these are not memories of others planted, no parent saw where I was, nor came near the place I was sent to-- they are totally mine, however at Uni we learnt that children with parents are given their memories by their parents a lot of the time, which made me think about the memories others have!!-thank you

Flashes of subconscious recollection!
I like the sideview perspective with the usual pastel palette of visually sophisticated g hues despite the busy composition.
An impressive artwork rendition. Colorful creation with excellent strokes & textures. Good compositional style. Great overall impact! Thanks for sharing...
