I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.
Today's is Venice, a city mostly built with income from silk made in China.
Just for fun, here is a picture of me when I was here.

View from San Gimignano, Italy.
I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.
This is the view from San Gimignano in Italy. I was here when I was 21, drawing, painting and exploring for a whole summer. Italy is culture dump, you get so much it's almost overwhelming, even some of your paint colours are named after these places, raw siena, and burnt siena are named for a city (and the local hills) near here (that's brown paint). No artist should miss it.
