Day 180 Large Jars in Parma, Italy

The Ora Hotel in Parma was remodeled from an old barn in quite a modern style. In the back was an identical barn filled with all the stuff from both barns, which looked a lot like Davis, out in the middle of large, grassy, hot fields next to a vet school. I took pictures of some of the stuff inside and sketched these jars from my camera. I added the wash just before bed and came up with Jars in Parma, Italy (watercolor and ink, 7 x 5").
