Two Tiles Forming a Decorative Arch (From Turkey). At the Victoria and Albert museum in South Kensington, I went drawing today in the Islamic Middle East section. On Friday, I'm flying to Istanbul. Well, Zurich first. Then, Istanbul. Consequently, I have decided to start a new sketchbook, tentatively titled: Istanbul.Islamic designs can have so much symmetry. Since I don't erase (even when drawing with a pencil), I was very conscious of maintaining a well-defined symmetric balance to this pair of Turkish tiles from the Anatola region of Turkey.
By the way, those portable museum drawing stools are not so comfortable.

But do you hold bags? Those chairs leave you feeling like a real stool pigeon huh? Good work with the painting and such. To Constantinople via Zurich huh? Check out The Residents' Constantinople.
