Because of the Pandemic It has been almost 2 years since I last visited Saint Leo The Great Cathedral.... Until today! It feels great coming back! I usually tend to visit during Sunday mornings, but I decided to sketch it during the last 2 days. For years I had admired the beautiful stained glass windows that in a very abstract artistic style tells Biblical Stories. This is my 2nd Sketch of these stained glass windows, which are becoming a series. You can see Virgin Mary stepping on a snake that surrounds the world. It took me 3.0 hrs, I used Black ink and Multiple-Colors Ink on white paper. #62

The Icon Tower in Barranquilla. It's a great example of the Modern Movement in this Caribbean city at the north of Colombia. What interests me about this Tower it's not the results but the process of construction. It will be one of the tallest structures in the city. I did this from a balcony about 2 miles away. I used white paper with black ink. It took me 2 hrs.

For years I had admired the beautiful stained glass windows that in a very abstract artistic style tells Biblical Stories. You will find descriptions from the Creation to the Resurrection of Jesus as well as religious symbols like a Lion that represents Pope Leo I who became Saint Leo The Great . It took me 3.0 hrs, I used Black ink and Multiple-Colors Ink on white paper.

The Robie House, Designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located in the south side of Chicago by the University of Chicago. This is a beautiful campus and the house is designed on the prairie style. I always say the best way to learn about a city is by walking/sketching. It was a sunny warn day in the windy city and the churches around ringed beautiful bell songs. It took me 2hrs. I used black ink on white paper.
