The life of a quester can be filled with little disappointments. For instance when I suggested such a project with original specs and plans showing how the Roman Coliseum could once again be a world wonder, it was met with such damp enthusiasm I gave up. By the way, this model may still be stored in a locked room up on the second floor of what is left of the structure.
Admitted, the project would have been harder reproducing all the statues with accurate names on their correct pedestles than doing the stone work again. But then, the ruins would no longer be such a tourist draw. What would be the attraction? Hard to find any cooperative Christians to throw to the lions and today's animal kingdom has become very diet conscious. Gotta watch those calories.
With our new London purchase, we traveled over to southern France looking to see the wild horses of the Camarague swamps running free. Yes, they did splash water high over their heads as they galloped free across those swampy areas west of Marseille.
So many good places to paint in France. Click on picture and see the way the Isle of St. Michael actually came out on canvas.
