Santa Barbara in Rome 1975

 

I spent a year in Rome in 1975-76 on a study and drawing fellowship. I've already shown you some of the drawings I did, although it might have been 10 years ago. Here are a few Roman drawings in pencil. There's nothing better to draw than buildings in Italy. This one is a small church, "Saint Barbara of the Bookbinders," originally dated to the 1300s and renovated all the way into the late 20th century.
