the day breaks, your mind aches

I’m in California, but this is Aix-en-Provence. I spent a year there from 2001 to 2002; I met my wife there, and she met me there too. I drew this last night, Micron Pen 01, and intended to add a wash, possibly in a warm sepia; I still might, but quite like it as it is.
Aix is art country. I did draw a lot while I was there, and paint, but I wish I could go back and draw and paint more, in the way I do nowadays. The light is amazing there – like in California, but possibly better. You have toi watch out for dog-poo though, and dog-people. Et les nains de jardin au parc jourdan, bien sur.

You draw beautifully! Such wonderful attention to detail. Aix is my husband’s new favorite place too. I keep catching him going through real estate adds for apartments there, but the prices are just outrageous.
thank you! i liked living in aix, but yes very expensive.
I LOVE it just how it is too!
many thanks! but i might ruin it with a wash if i get a moment this week. I’ll still have the scan.
I really love your drawings! so detailed, you must like filling up a whole paper, is it ok if I link to your page? / Carolina
thank you! yes of course.
Moi, j’ai passé un an à Montpellier, y’a très longtemps déjà.
Right. You are into football, you speak French, and you are a wiz with a Micron pen. I’m thinking we need to get together over a beer and sketch sometime. I am blown away by your range, Pete.
(I grew up in Spain and cried when they won Euro 2008. My dad would have as well if he’d still been alive.)
