Sketch from Stinchcombe

Enjoying looking at winter fields, also winter grass and dogwood up on Stinchcombe hill. This sketch was looking towards North Nibley, it was quite misty, shades of mistiness into the distance. I took a photo, later at home I found I couldn't see the Tyndale monument on it, demonstrating that eyes are better for work on the spot, selecting what we see as important to put in.

Rome March 2013

Just back from Rome, lots of walking and looking, however, so much to see there. Sadly couldn't visit Sistine Chapel, it was closed, they were choosing a new Pope. I liked especially San Clemente and Ostia Antica.
I loved the trees, cedar we think; also holm oak, cypress and plane (without leaves)

The public transport was super and cheap! Yummy coffees.
