cafe series / a project

An idea I had a few years ago sat in my drawer for a very long time an then one day, a few months ago, I decided to bring it to life so I sketched it and now...well I've decided to share it
I wanted to create a collection of "work with a view" from (sitting at) famous cafes around the world. Here I'm showing my Rome and Paris sketches, the year: 1969, the look: faded, the colours: pale, muted, soft, like someone's (beautiful) memory.
It's a moment in time being caught forever on paper.






what do you think?

    Good gracious! You truly are multi-talented! These are gorgeous! I love the idea of a view from a cup's perspective, but more than that, I love these actual sketches and the deliciously soft colours. Virginia x
