Waiting for the bus... whilst sketching at Trafalgar Square and Surrounds.

After filling my cup…
We swam all morning at Playa Cala Clara, a little cove adjacent to a rocky beach. Here I discovered a less inhibited way of being. Mallorca.
I came back from my summer break enthused with ideas for developing my practice. What does one do on hot summer days with nothing but…
Roaming in Spring
Evening mass… Araceli Staircase, Rome.

The view from Bayon
Standing on Bayon's upper terrace I survey the magnificence of the surrounding Angkor Tom, literally "Great City", who's majestic temples appear to be falling to an invading forest.
