Islands off Solitude

Some sacrifices have to be made to truly escape.

That’s what it looks like to me. I have always assumed the guy in the middle finally told off the boss.

The sketch is loosely based on a photo I took on the steps in front of St. Peters, at noon, a few years ago. They were probably just at lunch, getting ready for the afternoon.  

I’m slowly getting  to subjects I thought I might paint.  I took this off my list.  The sketch was enough.

Islands Off Solitude

Viewing where they’d been before the sighting. Observations have become more discrete. A move by some was made to another island, to regain some privacy.

I’m procrastinating. Maybe tomorrow I’ll paint.

This is just another sketch from one of my photos. This was in London a few years ago. The location is at the steps beneath the statue of Eros. I remember zooming in and attempting to paint the two in front back then, and not being happy with the result. I may attempt painting them again. Although while doing this sketch, I think the three guys behind may be more interesting.
