Hubby goes to Berlin...

Here are Hubby's pictures from Berlin. In Berlin the architecture is amazing, especially the new buildings and also the collections in the museums. He went to the Pergamon Museum, where they have the famous Ishtar Gate. (one of the reasons I went there in 2000)

Here are some photos from the Pergamon Museum.

More pieces from the Pergamon.

Montfort- L'Amaury

One Sunday afternoon we visited a small town 10km from home. It had a ruin of a tower and a great view too.
What a fluke, a little sausage on my shoulder.
Someone was very proud to climb on this bit.

Crete Sketches

Here are my sketches from Crete, made from life or photographs. I use a small sketch book, (square format, 14 x 14 cm - since 2000 I've been using this format, I'm up to sketchbook No. 20) and aquarelle graphite pencils. This time I took along a water pen, which was very easy to use and compact. I'll be using these sketches for future artworks.

Sunday in Maurepas

Here is the town hall, lots of flowers and lovely 70's mosaics reliefs.
But there is a sculpture, which I like just around the corner.
There are also lots of flowers everywhere.
At the shops there are apartments with shops downstairs. The shops are closed for a Sunday, plus it's holidays too. Most people have gone on holidays.
Back of the town hall.
My Sunday companion...eating a chocolate doughnut.
