New York, a hotdog stand on Madison square. The vendor was on his cellphone all the time I was sketching him. Although it was luchtime he did not have any clients either.

New York, the Flatiron building as seen from Madison square. It’s the view 180 degrees from my previous sketch of the Empire State building. I did the sketch sunday a week ago, it took me about 40 minutes to draw and paint with my waterbrush.

New York, Empire State Building. Last week we treated ourselves on a short week New York. What a fantastic city. The E.S.B. was just around the corner from the hotel, I sketched and painted this from Madison Square, while fighting off the jetlag. http://renefijten.blogspot.com/

I found this airplane stuck between a parking lot and a military academy, in the center of Tarbes, France. Would it get a parking ticket, like the rest of us? http://www.renefijten.blogspot.com/
