Can I brag?

Not about my kids this time (though I surely could) - it's my husband who's making a splash around here these days... I thought I'd share with you some photos of the recent art show at the university library which features his own personal sketches and drawings. I thought previously that all architects knew how to draw. And were exceptionally good, as the Professor is (machallah). But apparently NOT, because many of the other professors were surprised he has this 'hidden' talent. There you go... enjoy it because he doesn't actually *know* that I am posting these and might remove this post at any time...

This is the display, a collection of 20 or so sketches from his personal notebooks, travels, etc.


The LionCub attends the opening night, the local celebrity with sunglasses, attitude and all:


I took a couple of photos of my favourites, just with my Canon snapshot. This is the Radcliffe Camera at Oxford University. The line down the middle is the seam in his notebook.


This one is from the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul:


Here's a shout-out to the Smiths... recognize this conservatory?


And another, this time in Glasgow... This chair sat by the bay window in his aunt's living room when we were there during our honeymoon in 2000:


Sorry that shot is kind of blurry.

Anyway internets, I'm off now, my secret mission is complete. xo
