I didn't sketch Sontonga's tombstone, might go back, it's quite stark and simple, would be difficult to make into a compelling sketch.Cathy Gatlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004501411878060668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-75350018523327262522016-04-16T11:32:53.501+02:002016-04-16T11:32:53.501+02:00Cathy such a rich post...as always.

They are interesting, peaceful, moving, out in the fresh air... not a bad way to spend a day out! This one needs a little caretaking though.<br /><br />Thanks Dinah, think I must try that fast and loose style some more, without mozzies!Cathy Gatlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004501411878060668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-60082522918913632162016-04-04T23:55:23.975+02:002016-04-04T23:55:23.975+02:00Another rich post.Sorry about the mozzies, but the...Another rich post.Sorry about the mozzies, but the slightly wonky lines *are* interesting!dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-90012297389780895732016-04-04T16:41:02.744+02:002016-04-04T16:41:02.744+02:00Beautiful paintings and I enjoyed (well, maybe tha...Beautiful paintings and I enjoyed (well, maybe that's not the right word) the historical aspects of the gravesites. I think cemeteries that hold large angels and monuments are always interesting - something to do this spring, maybe, on a warmer day with no rain. Sorry about the mosquitoes - they love me, too, but I do not reciprocate the feelings!!RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-5877947870995722882016-04-04T15:00:52.712+02:002016-04-04T15:00:52.712+02:00Hi, Cathy, thank u for wonderful paintings and a r...Hi, Cathy, thank u for wonderful paintings and a rich post!
