A busy weekend...

drawing! Today a friend and I took the step of drawing in public. We went to Big Rig Park in Roma - it is probably the prettiest place in Roma and the only place with moving water and nice grass so we enjoyed it. There were lots of people coming and going to feed the ducks and geese but we both found it very difficult to draw quickly enough to capture either the people or the ducks and geese.

So, I took the opportunity to draw some grasses growing beside the duck pond...





I then focussed on this interesting table. It is a reasonably flat piece of rock placed on top of several vertical concrete uprights that form the table legs. Of course, the interest is in the rock surface and it's beautiful lines and colours. At a later date I plan to do a pen and wash to show the colours but for today, here is my pencil drawing.


Later I came home and started to work on my next essay for uni, but managed to get myself a little distracted and ended up continuing to relive my trip through Europe once more.

Today we are in Cornwall at St Michaels Mount near Marazion. This is one of the little cottages on the island. It is a bit rickety according to my rendition but I intend to claim that it gives it more character! I am really enjoying reliving this holiday.
