We visited La Certosa monastery, near Firenze, on a Sunday. We were admonished to not sketch on the Sabbath, here. I am so sorry - I really do want to honor this important commandment - but I could not help myself. I secretly drew these sublime architectural sequences we passed through, led by a monk. It is still one of my favorite “experiential” drawings.
I made the ink drawings as an undergraduate architecture student on travel study abroad with the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech in 1998. I used watercolor to enliven and re-interpret the drawing here, in December 2022.

Welcome to my Travel Sketches II Collection: lines drawn on site now illuminated by waterCOLOR, a little more wild and free than the first collection of May 2020. Together, the Sketches reveal my personal evolution in architectural travel sketching and offer a piece of travel art that can remind you of your own memories in place.
Thanks for helping to GIVE BACK: I'll also donate 5% of the sale of this piece to the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech for student assistance/scholarship for travel study abroad.
