The next few pages for the Sketchbook Project 2012. My theme is Encyclopedia of ... Secret Places.
This is one of my favourite secret places, not far from where I live, but you have to stand on tip toe to see it from the road.
This old 17th century villa is falling apart. It's windows are bricked up and is missing most of it's shutters but it's still lovely, especially in the late afternoon when shadows fall over the front.

It sure looks like a lovely spot.
Cathy, great theme for your sketchbook. I look forward to seeing more secret places!
More wonderful work. This is going to be a most amazing book. Shame there isn't a lot more pages.
Wonderful additions to your Sketchbook Project book! I love the charm of the places you so beautifully capture!
So southern, so golden looking and serene ! Wonderful pages !
You've done a wonderful job witht awful paper ! I shoud really start doing something with my sketchbook !!
Your project is coming along great. I love the subject matter ~ it is a lovely interpretation :D
Guess they won't be secret places any more. LOL. These are a delight - they speak of warm sunshine and the drowsy hum of bees. Sigh. x
Your work is truly lovely. I really like the theme of your journal. Looking forward to more secret places.
Gillian - It's more the noisy scrape of a cicala and mosquito bites! x
I tried to leave a comment yesterday, but my cell phone zapped it. Anyway, I can't imagine what it is like to have such beautiful ruins near your house! How wonderful - and a great portrayal. I really love the shapes of the trees going down the hill.
It's sad to see such a wonderful old building falling into ruins - but it had provided you with a wonderful subject for your work!
Wow, these are very nice! Looking forward to more.
you captured the place beautifully, I feel like have been there myself.
Secret places... what a great theme! This secret place is a wonderful painting! I'm also mesmerized by the butterfly below! Wow! Those browns and grays and greens are incredible!
How lovely, and how lucky you are to have such a wonderful secret place to visit! You did your usual beautiful job with it!! nancy
such beautiful pages Cathy =) definitely makes me wish that I could visit Italy someday
Beautiful sketches, Cathy! I especially like the first, I can easily imagine the scene of you on tip toe looking at this beautiful half ruined place... You have let us feel the magic of it!
Lovely pages - and those cypress trees definitely spell Italy to me now!
