Another quick sketch from my recent trip to Northern Italy, this one from the Anatomical Theatre in the Palazzo Archiginnasio in Bologna. The theatre, built in 1637 by Antonio Levante, is a beautiful room in carved wood which looks, to me anyway, like a classical anatomy theatre should.

We walked through the dunes in the early Autumn sunshine to the picturesque saltmarsh and back and listened to someContinue reading “Between The Trees”

I’m really chuffed that I’m still at it after all this time and I’ve published about two and a half thousand posts. That’s a lot of art I’ve done and written about. I did myContinue reading “Seven Years A Blogging…”
