Art

As in Switzerland, the churches in Italy are equiped with bells, which they inflict on nearby people at a regular cadence.

A good friend of mine invited me down to his family home in Italy, where I got to do some au plein air painting.

I fell down a rabbit hole. There exists an Urban Sketchers Switzerland, and the Zurich sketch event this weekend is part of its yearly symposium. Angst level 11.

I joined the Urban Sketchers Bern Facebook group - which fills me full of angst because there are real artists involved.

This is another in the series of portraits of colleagues - those poor guinea pigs of my retirement art hobby.

I wanted to loosen up on the detail a bit this time, which means drawing and painting in the style of an artist instead of a draftsman. A sad fail of course.
