Hotel San Gil

 

Lovely hotel with a very comfortable room and beds.

 

Very traditional in décor (lots of ceramic tiles and such) and a beautiful, iron and coloured glass telephone box in the reception which you can see here (on the left of my sketch)

We stopped, in the Maria Luisa park, for a bite to eat and I made a quick sketch of the building top opposite our table.

Seville trip 7

Maria Luisa Park

 

Oh my, what a beautiful place!

 

Joan and I hired a horse and carriage to take us around the park and across to the cathedral and back; we travelled with the sun on our faces and our hearts beating to the clip clop of the horses hooves....Magical!

Seville Trip 6

Plaza De Espana

 

Without a doubt my favourite building in Seville surrounded by my favourite area; Maria Luisa Park. I could have sat here in the sunshine....(yes, sunshine!)....for a month or two just watching the world go by.

I sketched the little grey shoes I purchased for the trip before leaving then added the cheesecake I had for dessert at Don Juan restaurant (our first meal in Seville) and the flowers, which came from a perfume advert on the inflight magazine on our plane.

 

Our first day in Seville was WET!

Seville 2016 Trip

I recently took my artistic friend Joan Sandford-Cook to Seville for a few days to celebrate her 80th birthday.

I took a Frisk Lay-flat sketchbook Joan had gifted me at Christmas.

 

Here's my first page of that journal, my trip prep! New bag and new pencil case, along with a few of the art tools I popped into them.

Frisky In Seville

This is the sketchbook I'll be taking on a 4 day, 3 night trip to Seville in February 2016
