Roma 2011

Roma 2011

In my memory from the summer, this rendition of
Mary was not ancient but modern.. we found her painted
on an ancient wall; in her hand, I believe a crystal ball,
though mine looks much more like a tomato :-)

when in Italy, food is always on the brain..
and the Campo de Fiori market was just around the corner..


Mary tightened her shawl, protecting herself from the chill air
as she set out to feed the hungry with the few veggies
she had pulled from her orto early that morning..

    I'm enjoying your sketches here. Thanks for coming to my blog today. The picture that reminded you of Santa Cruz, CA is indeed in California but near Vacaville, between Berkely and Sacramento, CA at a little park called Pena Adobe.

    This is a great sketch - I love the background. It is wonderful to see how you incorporated your "tomato" into the story - very creative!

    Your drawing makes me (even more) hungry for a trip to Rome!!!

    Lovely sketch! And why not a tomato? I think Mary would have been more likely to have a tomato than a crystal ball. Either way, I like the sketch. :)

    Great sketch! That does look like a tomato - but that makes more sense than a crystal ball, anyway. Of course Mary would be offering food to the hungry!
