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.
