Daily Sketch No.117 ‘Sleeping Man’ Mountain from Lorenzo and Yvonne’s House, Barga

Last night we went to a friend’s house in Barga, the view from the enclosed terrace stunning, with the silhouette of the ‘sleeping man’ in full view. Unfortunately, I did not have my sketchbook with me but memorised as much as possible the view so this sketch is from memory. More importantly, its a reminder of a lovely evening with friend’s!
