I wonder if you found the classes in perspective drawing as satisfying as I did. All those "oh yes, of course" moments.
Speak, WorldYes, doing perspective is very satisfying in many ways. I was lazy in doing 2-point perspective for the ex-Convento in not putting the vanishing points way outside the page. Next time…
Gosh, you don't do things by halves! These are so impressive! (sister sz) [michelle]
Speak, WorldThank you! I guess I’m ready to look at how things really are at this point.

I am definitely doing a different kind of “trip” here: after a 24-year hiatus, I decided to start drawing again, and I wanted to keep a “diary” of my progress. Therefore, every “trip” hereЧитать далее

It could be worse. When our erstwhile friend Sally had her daughter and daughter's new baby to live with her, the cat expressed its extreme and stinky displeasure under the crib!
A new year, a new chapter, a new life. Wonderful! V X [Victoria Vorreiter]

It seems that the tourism industry in each country I visit picks two or three major sights to fly visitors who have only a week to explore. The two places in Chile are Torres del Paine National ParkЧитать далее

Nice shot. The eye first takes in the horse and rider then is drawn to the vastness of the scene behind and the mountains because the rider is looking in that direction. So much more pleasing than if he had been looking at the camera.
So good to see you back on the road, intrepid traveler! Thank you for sharing this special part of the world. V X [Victoria]

I was so curious to see the deserts in northern Chile! After the green of Patagonia, I needed some contrast. So, I offer these photos of what my ride mostly looked like, to satisfy YOUR curiosity.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures. I have plans to visit you when it's mutually convenient. I'll need to build up my stamina to keep up with you, it seems. Wishing you and your partner continous joyful times. [Flora Brown]

Speak, WorldYes, I thought it was creepy too. But I couldn’t help but think what a waste of tennis shoes and jeans that was. I was wondering if they outgrew them, or the display was just worth the sacrifice. Things are so expensive here in Chile!

I had the great fortune of being a kilometer away from an A+ tour agency, so I booked tours for the 2nd and 3rd of January there. I used to be a “tour snob,” trying to find places by myself. ThisЧитать далее
ПутешественникWhat a fascinating tour it sounds, and what lovely photographs of spectacular views. Like you, I used to be snobby about tours and like you, I came to realize that they can often be the only way to see some things. And even if one can arrive at wherever by oneself, a guided tour can still deliver much more than a visit alone.
Hi Doree. Thank you for sharing these delightful pics of Chile. Cindi [Cindi Watts]

Very successful.
Speak, WorldThank you! Angles is going to get better and better, because I am using the compass on my phone! It’s not exactly training my eye, but I’m getting it exactly right.
Your dog is really well done. I love the light and shadows of his face. Looking right at us! [Ellen B]
