Each participant was required to choose a theme from a list provided by Art House Co-op.  My selection was Lights in the Distance.  I based my pencil and ink sketches on photographs of the architecture of Italy and France.  A total of 38 drawings were created in this sketchbook.  Each drawing is available as a giclée print.  If you are interested in purchasing any of these drawings as a print all you need to do is contact me.
