Sketched in a session last weekend behind a yellow door.

Fallen

Fallen

Falling back into pillows

piled against

an invisible wall.

Captured in lights,

dying flames

from below.

That’s what I saw when sketching her in the session I attended last night.

What About Him

What About Him

A very distinctive older man

arrived in what appeared

to be a vintage suit,

twirling a cane

he obviously

didn’t need.

With classic poses,

he could stand

very still,

long enough

to draw

all of him,

as I did here.

Sketched earlier this week in a session with this elegant older man, who in truth, might be younger than me.

What About Him

What About Him

He didn’t look like a model

except for being nude

while the rest pretended

to be invisible,

within clothes.

He really didn’t try hard,

didn’t do much more than sit

in the middle of the floor,

ignoring the rest

hiding behind sketch pads

wondering.

Was this some sort of dare,

maybe a bet made earlier

in the pub

upstairs?

A couple of sketches from last week in a session I sometimes attend in the evening, in the basement of a pub.
