The next sports tournament Football World Cup is on for the next 5 weeks - watched the opening ceremonies and opening match (MEX - RSA 2:0) last night and I’m watching CAN - BIH (1:1) right now.
Saddened by the loss of David Hockney - to me his works of especially the last few years are the best of painting and a constant inspiration.
Nighttime linden blossom scent is my favorite.
Our Serbian bellflowers are in bloom.


Caught this moment 7 years ago to the day, Nelly and Champi are still the best of friends
Found peonies in bloom.
Watched: Hamnet 🍿
Didn’t go far for today’s drawing session on a day off for Pentecost Monday (Whit Monday) - sketched a top section of a corner house and tall trees in Prenzlauer Berg. After that a walk to and through Mauerpark.



Went to the west, took a late afternoon walk from Stuttgarter Platz to Schloss Charlottenburg, and sketched its dome from a bench with a front/side view as the heat of the day subsided.
Got out this afternoon to sketch the Volksbühne theater building and logo sculpture on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz from a bench viewpoint I found last week.
