Villa Savoye

By Paris, SketchbookNo Comments
My son suggested an outting to 
Villa Savoye in Poissy, designed by
the modernist Le Corbusier and 
it is an intriguing structure, well worth
the visit, expecially after the sensory
overload, and let’s admit it, excesses 
of the Baroque…but this hilarious
out-structure (about 30 feet tall)
caught my sketching eye.

Harry’s New York Bar

By Paris, SketchbookNo Comments
At Harry’s New York Bar, 
birthplace of the Sidecar
and a number of other classic
cocktails, hang old baseballs 
and the boxing gloves of Primo
Carnera.  The drinks as excellent,
if hideously expensive- but
that’s Paris for ya.  Next time
I’m packing a flask!

Tour de St Jacques

By Paris, SketchbookNo Comments
Near our apartment and serving as a useful
landmark is the Tour de St Jacques.  It is now
the centerpiece of a small park on Rue de Rivoli.
This soaring Gothic tower is the sole remnant of
an ancient cathedral.  Here are a few sketches
of its stone critters made while sitting on a bench…
as children, punks and old men milled about.

St. Chapel

By Paris, SketchbookNo Comments
The soaring stained glass windows of
St Chapel are one of the glories of the
City of Light…I sketched this snippet
as a reminder to use this goofy 
medieval convention in some future
narrative— no perspective, huge people,
tiny buildings.
