They like to keep you well fed on Viking cruises. After our trip to Auvers we were met with this amazing hot chocolate with Baileys Irish Cream. Deliciousness. And I discovered the endless supply of meringues at the snack station. Yummy crispy bits of sugary fluff Aka diabetic coma makers. Lol.

I meant to tape the dried flower in my book. Turns out it’s illegal like my sycamore leaf. Now down the garbage disposal into the septic tank so no diseases could be spread. I like to collect leaves and feathers for my journals.

Note to self. NOT WHEN ABROAD!!!

Colors used. Winsor yellow background. Inathrodone blue and burnt umber. Flower alizarin, inathrodone, and hookers green.

Aka up the Seine
In the Viking Pride lounge moored at the Quai Greinelle near the Eiffel Tower after lunch when I should have been resting for more fun all I could do was draw draw draw. This is our new friends Jane and her husband Dennis though we didn’t know them when I drew them.

Really like all the runny wet on wet color in this sketch.

Colors used. French ochre w Quin coral for skin cobalt shadows. Hair French ochre and burnt sienna. Grey hair cerulean, burnt sienna. Black inathrodone blue and burnt umber. Chair alizarin and French ochre.
