2010 Syracuse, Italy, Temple of Apollo

Hello to all of you! I missed sketching with you at Pioneer Square. It's great to be able to see the drawings that have been uploaded. They look wonderful and make Seattle look so charming. My husband and I are in Sicily now and I'm including my Sketchcrawl drawing of the Temple of Apollo in Syracuse. It is surrounded by a major square where life continues to swirl around. The pillars are the most original part, others having been modified by whatever power was current. In the sun, the pillars glow with soft golden light.

    We all are jealous of you. Wouldn't we love to be in Italy! Great sketch.

  4. Peggy, great capture and story. Travel sketches should be savored, they will reward you years from now as you remember the effort. Look forward to hearing about the trip.
