This could possibly look like a very vulgar drawing... but actually... this is a study of a wall fresco of the House of Ladies. Kinda a crazy story... but i actually meet the doc. that delivered me while in this museum... while drawing... a lady came up to me and wanted to know where our group was from... and i told her i was actually from a small town Champaign, IL... turns out their group was an Alumi group from the U of I. And her brother still lived in Champaign... so i told him who i was and what do you know... he knew my mom and me very well! He delivered me! Small world!
But back to the House of the Ladies... really amazing. I love the fluid simple lines that create their frescos. So many styles take after these.


This is a water color study done in Fira, Santorini. Look it up, it is amazing! Ill try to post some pictures taken there. It is basically an island that is like a cliff, with a city on the very top of it. Some friends and i hiked the volcano there. Truly breathtaking. I will post pictures... i have to. Anyway, this study was done while having an deep conversation with one of my friends there. Conversation took over the study i think but ill always look at this study and think of her. I have an emotional attachment to it.
