Two Drawings from Ancient Roma

I just can't seem to keep up with blogging and this tour ... but I hope ... HOPE ... to catch you up someday. Yesterday morning we went to Saint Peter's for an audience with the Pope and spent part of the afternoon exploring the colosseum and forum ... sketching materials in hand. Here are two of mine. The capital was a quick sketch (we had 20 minutes to explore and sketch). The other is from the Basilica of Constantiine and Maxenthius, a huge structure located in the forum ... a long, rocky, winding hike from the colosseum.

Today we went to the Caravaggio exhibit. I will have to tell you about that. Later. (Sorry.) Also enjoyed venturing to the Spanish steps. What a view of the city!

More later...
