Family lore told me that my maternal grandfather lived near or in Sciacca, Sicily; so when C and I visited last year, we stopped in Sciacca and explored this harbor section of a large, busy city. The guidebook described Sciacca as a 'poor working village,' and indeed, while there were some beautiful sections, so much of the city could have used a paint and a 'clean-up.'

BEAUTIFUL sketch Lin! I can almost see you sitting on the hill drawing this. Such wonderful memories you have of Italy!
Wonderful that you were able to go there. Lovely sketch!
I hope this is just hte beginning of a series Lin. I'm sOo enjoying the looking.
Really nice composition of this page, Lin. Be proud.
Lin I love what you are doing, true journalling and it all looks like memories. I think they pop pretty well
Such history captured in those crowded streets. This is a lovely drawing Lin and I really like the way you incorporate words with your art. It is easy to see that Italy is more than just close to your heart - it runs through your veins!! :o)
what an interesting village - lovely drawing! although most of the villages in Europe could do with a little love and care I think it adds some character!
Wonderful!!
