Èze

Another view of Èze. Pencil on paper, approximately 7" by 10" original size. Drawn on site, December, 1971.

Èze

My old Michelin green guide calls Èze, "étrange village isolé en nid d'aigle sur son piton qui domine la mer de 427 m, constitue un site de premier ordre," "[a] strange isolated eagle's nest village on its peak dominating the sea at 1383 ft., constituting a site of the first order." It is located along the Moyenne Corniche, midway between Nice and Monaco. The pencil sketch on paper here is approximately 7" by 10" original size, drawn on site in December, 1971.

Vence

Another view of Vence. The upper illustration is approximately 7" by 10", pencil on paper, drawn on site, December, 1971. The lower illustration of the same subject, done in a more abstract style later, is felt tip marker on paper. If the scenes of Vence appear that the town was deserted of people, it was, in fact, not. But the sketches were done in early afternnon, when people activity was more subdued.
