This sketch received a lot of love both here and on Facebook. I am pleased of it because it came from a happy moment.
On Sunday, the Urban Sketchers group went for lunch, but I already bought mine so I decided to stay around by myself. I sat on the stairs outside Palazzo Ducale and enjoyed my lunch in the sun. At my back there was an old man with a dog; he was scribbling on a book. At my side a mother reading the story of Genoa to her son.
I shared my focaccia with the dog and then I noticed the beautiful uneven line of the roofs up there, in front of me.
When I am in Belfast and people ask me what I miss more of my country, my answer is always: the light blue, the colour of the sky and the sea. Actually, I know I am homesick when I start to dream of sitting in silence in front of the sea, looking at the blue. And there it was, bright and unique.
So I decided to draw it, slowly, while the sun kept me warm.
