Posted on March 15, 2023 by D. Katie Powell

I see this view nightly, Yamantaka with his head resting on Mitchell’s leg. Usually about the time I try to sketch him, he is on the run. I swear, he can be asleep and realize I am sketching and walk … Continue reading →

VSW: IM Pei, Louvre, France

Posted on November 21, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

This was sketched quickly in waterproof inks. A lot of controversy surrounded the Pyramid in front of the Louvre, by I.M.Pei. I have some of those trepidations myself, but it has grown on me. It was created to allow for … Continue reading →

VSW: Corbusier in Ronchamp, France

Posted on November 16, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

Had to do one Corbusier, and what a history this architect has with me. This is the Catholic Chapel in Ronchamp, France. Drawing this brought up so many negative memories… maybe I can begin to clear them out by getting … Continue reading →

Ranunculus

Posted on September 26, 2022 by D. Katie Powell
