from Sicilian garden

 

These two drawings were made this year while I was on my visit to my parent's in Catania, Sicily.
The drawing on the left was made over 3 days session with a simply a gel pen. In both drawings I wanted to comment the short and transient moment of being in a familiar setting while not living there. The Mediterranean light, the atmosphere, the joy and calmness inspired me to record but also draw the subject as if drawn by memory instead of on the spot.
The drawing on the right is of course the typical red geranium which in turn is one very early memory as a child of becoming aware of the beauty in nature, in its details, colors, shapes.
