I did something unheard-of..........I took a 3 week vacation (and I didn't take my work laptop!!!!). I'll admit that the first few days were a little scary - not being able to check emails. But I really think it was the best thing I could have ever done - EVER! The last few years have been very challenging. Rewarding, I have no regrets, but challenging. I would take a foreign assignment anytime anywhere. The knowledge you gain about yourself and the world in priceless.
My next few posts will show the doodles I did along the way. First stop - Freiberg, Germany......
Yes, the sky was that blue :)
No idea what this guy is....but I like it! Goat - dog?
First time I'd seen a fish grotesque - least I think it's a fish. Neat shape. Or maybe this one is a gargoyle - dunno, spout wasn't clear.
There was also no shortage of views like this. I'm a sucker for old fences, paths, rows of trees, etc.
Triberg was near by. Located in the black forest, one of Germany's largest waterfalls is there. I can see why so many stories originated from the black forest area. It's a pretty magical place, easy for your mind to wander.
I took a small moleskine sketchbook and a small watercolor moleskine. This one was Cathedral inspired.....duh.
I put together a watercolor travel kit for this trip. It had a bunch of colors I'd never touched before, so I was just trying to get in the groove with these first two entries in my watercolor moly.
Loads of ravens in the black forest. My scanner really let me down with this one. There is actually a really nice light blue wash that wanders onto the other page - stupid scanner (grrrrrr).
Next stop - Lake Como Italy..........
