Our first day in Assisi turned out to be a very wet, grey, rainy sort of day. So we stayed under one of the many Medieval arches, drawing and painting the scenes in front of us.
I
don't like to paint en plein air (artist's way of saying outside in
fresh air) when the weather is that wet, so I stuck with drawing pens.
Just a couple of women having a lively discussion, complete with arm gestures and shopping bags fluttering with the movements.
My
second sketch is a little statue of Saint Francis leaning in the corner of a window - he was "dressed" in
part of an old sock for his hat, and what appeared to be the sleeve of a
sweatshirt for his clothes. Appropriate for Saint Francis. So I named
this "Saint Francis of the Old Clothes."
