Marie Antoinette's Hamlet, 5x7 Pen and Ink Drawing

Marie Antoinette had an entire little hamlet built for her own entertainment, and there she played at being a shepherdess. The buildings are well-preserved and the landscaping is fit for a queen, you might say. All of this is on the grounds of Versailles.

Selby Gardens, Pen and Ink Drawing

 My sister and I visited Selby Gardens in Sarasota and were amazed by the Orchid display (see below). It had a circus theme, if you can imagine that. I also love the huge trees with their gnarled roots. I have a thing for roots, but drawing them is like doing a puzzle.

Palmetto, Pen and Ink Drawing, 5.5 by 5.5

I am on a drawing streak and I'm enjoying it very much. What says "Florida" more than palmettos?

Menerbes, Pen and Ink Drawing, 4x6

This is a drawing of a happy memory. My sister and I were in Provence and we went to the village near the farmhouse where Peter Mayle lived and wrote his book, A Year in Provence. We went up the mountain on a one-way road and had no idea how we would get out, so we parked and walked to the top to find the lovely little square, and of course, the way back down.
