I'm at a point in my life where I do some travelling. I'd like to sit in a plaza or piazza or cathedral or park or even an airport and draw what I see. I like that experience of looking closely at my surroundings. The souvenir I come home with would be the memory of drawing as much as it would be the drawing itself.
I loved looking at Amanda Burden's sketch in the faculty exhibition of the Charles Bridge in Prague.
I don't think I'll get anywhere near where I would like to in the time we have, but I should get closer and I like the activity.
It seems to me that there are a lot of artists who do just fine and more so without expressing much in the way of depth in their images. Jim Dine comes to mind. Chuck Close also. But I'd like to put one building in front of another and then do it again and again.
