A Week in a Monastery
Many of you know that spend a week each January in silent retreat at the Gethsemani monastery in rural Kentucky. It's always one of the best weeks of the year, and I consistently leave with new insights and perspectives. The sketch here captures the small cemetery that each retreatant passes through as they enter the monastery. Please see the entire series at my blog, www.jamesrichardssketchbook.com

Fantastic work Jim, as usual.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tomas.
ReplyDeleteLovely image, with the trees and stone breaking the frame edge. A week of silence that would truely be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judith. It's a challenge at first, but feels very natural after a few days.
