Thinking about current events, some years ago I had the good fortune to spend a short time in Rome, whilst there a visit St. Peter's was a must do. Being on a walking tour we crossed the square and then walked on into the central city.
Obviously I wanted to share this image with you because of the events, with the passing of the Pope. It was the passing of a very good man, he was a superb example, who believed in scriptural Christianity, he was loved and will be much missed. Let us pray with compassion for comfort towards all Catholics and especially for wisdom to be given the cardinals as they begin the selection process of the next Pope.
On a lighter side, the sketch above was produced as I walked across the square. Water colour palette and pad in my left hand, with a brush and pencil in my right, this was as I walked with my group. Impossible to carry a water bottle as I had no more hands, so sadly and I apologise for this, spittle had to do for water. No cadmium based paints were used, I think. Amazing that the picture turned out as well as it did.
Seriously, it was a little heath Robinsonish and the rest of my walking tour did laugh. But we all agreed that we got the picture and it caught the mood.
Take wild risks, they often work.
