Paris is fabulous but I’m shattered because we’ve been walking everywhere and it’s Hot! It’s also difficult to decide what to scribble because in a city full of artists, it’s all been done before. Husb and I visited Notre Dame yesterday; it was jam packed but I found this statue in a dark, quiet corner and stood at the bottom, sketching. I like the drama of the foreshortening and the way it loomed out of the darkness.
Today we traipsed all over Montmartre and I had quite an emotional moment in front of Theo vanGogh’s house, where Vincent lived for a while. Marvellous. Tonight we went for a stroll under the full moon in the delightful Parc Bercy, which was packed with locals picnicking, playing sports and enjoying the gardens.
I love this !!! and you are having a “high” old time in Paris aren’t you !
It was fantastic. Back home now and it’s raining 😦
You lucky gal! Have you ever ventured to the Musee Zadkine? Lots of great sculptures to draw… Enjoy your time there!
I didn’t manage it this time …… next visit 🙂
Nice job on for-shortening the hand….Enjoy Paris.
Thanks Hansi 🙂

Simply brilliant!
great drawing – jealous of your little holiday 🙂
I loved it 🙂
But, Rosie, it has yet to be done with your Scribblah eye. 😉 I LOVE the perspective on this one. Bon soir!
Thank you most kindly 🙂
The perspective seems like a little kid looking up at some ancient sage at a school who’s about to give a lesson. 🙂
It felt like that, the statue was huge
