Sketches of France, Pt. 1
I didn’t get to do nearly as much sketching as I would have liked to. We were moving so quickly there wasn’t much time to slow down and draw. I did manage to do a few, though, of varying quality. Here are the first few. As always, click on the thumb to go to the full size version.
This first one is outside of a bar at Place Pigalle in Paris.
This next one is from Place Jerusalem in Avignon where we stopped to have a kir.
This next one is also from Avignon. I ran out of the dark blue pencil lead half way through and had to switch to the less pleasing lighter blue.
That’s all for now. I’ll finish them off next time.

Still Here
This is just a quick note to say I’m still here and still intend to upload photos and comments about the trip, but I have not had any free time in the past couple of weeks to work on my photos. I’ve put together a rough slide show, which, after I clean up a bit, I will upload here in three or four parts.
I’ve scanned in some of my travel sketches as well, and will put those up when I get the chance. Maybe Monday.

Back To Reality
We got home last night at around 10:30 after spending way to much time on planes and transferring between planes and getting to airports. The cats were very pleased to see us, but were well looked after while we were gone.
I have many thoughts on our trip and of course a couple thousand photos to troll through looking for gold. I’ll get started on that right away. I’ll post more about our trip (and perhaps a few of the small number of sketches I did) this weekend after I’ve had a bit of time to decompress and unpack and do all the returning to normal life things that one must do after a long trip.
Including starting the planning for our next trip: Mexico! But that trip is a long way off.
