Islands Off solitude

The day was started with this sketch. A memory of rocky platforms on the islands, and yes, the figure, my imagination was working then too. Someone to talk too.

A place to escape.

A place to observe.

A safe place away

From the day to day.

I may work on this some more. It’s based on a sketch I posted a while ago.

Islands Off Solitude

I obviously sketched the visitors first. I ended up placing them as strangers on a stage set.

Maybe I fooled them into staying away?

Islands Off Solitude

My sketch for today started as a warm up. I’d planned on painting after sketching one or two of them. I started with the guys. When the final figure was added, the story took over.

Maybe I’ll get around to painting in the morning..

Today I drove far, far away again, just to draw “C”. Here are a couple of sketches of her.
