I had my colored pencils with me everywhere I went when I roamed through Europe in 1975. I still bring some version of a colored pencil art kit when I go places. These two vignettes were done inside the residential section of the American Academy in Rome, whose courtyard you have already seen. You could find that timeworn shelf anywhere in the world, but the glass lamp and ornate orange window frame are definitely Italian. That orange frame belongs to a building next door to the Academy, housing priests of the Claretian order.
Colored pencil on Fabriano smooth paper, 6" x 8", 1975. Please click for a better view.
