Artwork Highligths

So obviously I came to Italy for a reaosn, and that was to do some art!
Here are a few pieces that I feel are fairly resovled (most of what we are doing is sketching, and I dont have the patience to upload that many drawings either).


This is a charcoal frawing from the Roman Forums. Time: 20 min or so


This is the Composition that was supposed to summarize our experience in Rome.
I combined elements from the 4 rivers foutain (the fish), The Pantheon (the top bit of the circle), The Colosseum (The bottom bit of the circle), The Bourghesse House Sculptures (The chain), various organs (The pipes/fins) and some various achitecture seen arouns. The overall composition is to reflect the crazy fast paced nature of our experience in Rome, and how things seem to blend together when you have 3 days to see all the city has to offer (or something like that).


A sketch of a penthouse in Orvieto.

Peace!

Have been reading your blog.....pictures and narrative are great! Your drawings are spectacular!!!!

Thanks for the postcard from Rome. It arrived yesterday.

I'm sure the time is flying by..can't wait to hear the story from your meeting with the Lambruschis!

Sent them the family tree and a book on Croton and Ossining so they can see what their relations found when they came to NY. Hope they received them. Sent them to Velga (Stefania's grandma).
