Sitting in the Carlsberg Glyptotek cafe, I could look down into its winter garden. The large hall with its skylights and lush tropical plants is filled with a warmth that invites people to linger and appreciate. It must have been a wondrous attraction 125 years ago when it first opened in Copenhagen.
I noticed two artists below me drawing the garden’s ferns, and it made me want to draw them in turn. I had to leave my sketch bag in the lockers but still had a few crayons and a small sketchbook. I filled in the page, showing the two artists surrounded by the ferns and leaves of the Glyptotek.

Thank you Sheila, it felt like magic to me, sitting just above and behind them, yet engaged in a similar act.

This makes me think of a visit to Lisbon 25 years ago when we visited the Estufa Fria. Your picture gives an air of mystery to this scene.

Lisbon would be great to visit.

I highly recommend it. Visually there is so much pattern (even the sidewalk pavements are often mosaiced stone) and the architecture, and then the fact that it is so hilly. I think you would love it.
