Provence: Miniature Drawings from an old Travel Journal

 Wanting to use some of my miniature paper scraps, I chose a theme source by closing my eyes & "blindly" pointing to one of my old travel journals that were lined up in the closet.
I got the book: "Provence Trip, 2006". 
I chose some sketches from the book & reproduced them on a small scale.
2 1/4" X 4 1/4" Arches Cold Press

Serendipity. I got some of my favorite doors. 
New doors are inviting me lately.  How will I go through them?
One door at a time is OK. Miniature steps are OK...à petits pas...
Grateful I am for this suggestion.


2 1/4" X 3 1/4" Arches Hot Press

Each tiny image stands alone, but is part of the group.

They're united by Place. By Time. By Color Palette. 
And, sentimental as it may sound, by Love.

    What a brilliant way to choose what you show us. I love doors and particularly the burnt sienna one, very rustic.

    En quelques petits dessins, tu as parfaitement saisi et rendu l'esprit du village provençal ! Ces petits dessins sont adorables et très fidèles . Bravo!

    The color palette is terrific! Very rustic. Do you mix the colors yourself?
