seeing venice and ... drawing | moon

that moon doesn't half beg for attention. it is hiding the subtitle laguna, which could also be read as lacuna, the wild orchard of space i've been living in. funny how over the months of these drawing challenges, i have been into round shapes {here, here and here}. i wonder what moon will be shining where we're heading this weekend, besides all of those over on patrice's. ... for now, you will find us getting....

... lost. that shouldn't be too hard, it seems any calle echoes the previous one, both in name and outlook. we're two minutes off piazza san marco. we may gently phase passers-by from our sunny {?} outside spot, sipping a recommended spritz. we shall be sniffing lagoony air, and quaffing ristrettos till our lips burst. both my hands dangling in the eau-de-canal, bell will mind the camera, NOT letting it drop outside the gondola, thank you very much. this is what we hope for. but plans, hand on ♥, we have not. besides getting lost. see you on the other side of travel! {or in other words: next week} tally-ho & aaaah-hoooo...

  2. I love your drawing of the little gondola man in the moon dear Woolfy.
    I will think of you trailing your hands in the waters of the canal, sipping vino and having an utterly lovely, well deserved holiday.
    Buone vacanze!

  3. yes to getting lost in Venice - I've actually done it, and it's magical!
    your moon drawing is possibly my favorite, there's something so beautiful about its simplicity: few colors, round shapes, a man lost in a laguna on the moon. Gorgeous.
    see you on the other side of travel :)

  8. I love your moon laguna and its perfectly perfect circle – so much creativity… I affectionately love your man in the moon sailing in a moonlit lagoon. The asterisk like shapes within the letters reminds me of a Zen expression: “No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.”

    I’ve never been to Venice, but feel as if I will experience an even lovelier version through the eyes of Nadine.

    love it!
    the moon too.

    it would be the moon after all. but a spritz in the moonlight is not bad either!
