Hunting through my photos from a trip to Greece a decade ago, I stumbled on this detail from a Greek Candelabra. No other details, except that the candelabra was in the National Archeological Museum, and it caught my eye. The carving of the angel is primitive, but the carving of the wings, and other details is more sophisticated.
This is my 40th daily drawing. Thank you for looking.

"Below the Parthenon" 9x12 mixed #dailydrawing
A number of years ago we visited Athens. I had been there 25 years before, and was astounded at the growth in the city over those two + decades. Flying in over the city, it seemed to sprawl out and up against the mountains like the housing had been poured into its space. This is my 39th drawing for #dailydrawing. I was drawn to the large columns in the foreground framing the distant space. I drew the image in pen, added gray marker and some black colored pencil. As always, thank you for looking.
