While drawing this picture a pigeon (probably not liking what he saw) tried to destroy it by spreading some fresh guano over it. Luckily it hit me instead and as always I was protected by my king size hat.. Not so pleasant company today, just one man who sat in his car the whole time it took to finish this one and a lot of dried dog turds, I guess at night this is dog territory
In this town every pigeon is an art critic

I'm always fascinated with the level of architectural detail you put into your work. All ways a pleasure to visit your blog.

ReplyDeleteWell I think the pigeon's opinion was dead wrong ;-)
ReplyDeleteguano on head is a good omen in greece
ReplyDeleteYou can't win 'em all!
ReplyDeleteWere you in Lecce when drawing this by any chance? I was knocked unconscious by a pooping pidgeon in that Italian city of startling and faded grandeur. Incidently, that is a wonderful drawing. I rather admire your work.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's somewhere in Greece. Sorry, I often get my Greek confused with my Italian.
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take you to draw something like this?
