Book of the Demolition of the Zodiac

Our home, Avindelor has a finished attic I call Tivanâ, Zodiac. At the time of development of this sketchbook I had been demolishing the finishes so that we could set new insulation, electrical, and drywall and have a livable second floor to our home. Thus the life-phase received the name Peretivanal in honor of the demolition of the Zodiac. My wife Laura Ann and I visited Tuscany in April 2002; these are some sketches that derive from the trip.
