In the Park

Sketching in the Jardin des Tuileries. The park is situated perfectly between the Louvre and the Orangerie (home of Monet's waterlilies) and the name comes from the fact it used to be a quarry for clay to make the city tiles (Tiles= Tuilerie). It's a great place to hang out and catch some rays, some people watching, and some historic snoozing.

  1. These sketchbook drawings are so great, Tilly! Great photos of the Mona Lisa paparazzi madness. I just checked your blog to see what you've been up to and I've been reading through your posts from the last few months... wow, you've been going through some tough times. It's so neat you are in France now and doing these great sketches, and managing to share them too! I wish I could do that. You continue to inspire me. Can't wait to see what you post next. I love a travel blog with sketches!!!
