pasteldrawings in washington DC

the following are the pastel drawings that I did while
i was having my sabbatical year in washington dc, usa
from october 2006 to march 2007.
there are drawings here that should be put side by side
as they are the two parts to one drawing. i will indicate
these by labelling part 1 and 2.
sorry if there are repetitions as i had difficulties
in eliminating the repetitions.
all these were done through pastels, although i will
indicate if other media was used in some of the drawings.
indicated per drawing are the titles.
