Awake

Awake

Too much light

in the latest

dark images,

haunting the

usual escape.

Sketch of the last pose “TP” folded into in a session a couple of days ago.

Up And Over

Up And Over

An unfilled desire

as an allusive smoke

settles.

Searched for in the heat

of another empty

day.

Over too soon again

in an artificial evening

light.

Random procrastination sketches. Sketched on scrap paper cut away from sheets of paper too large to fit into the backpack I use for the various drop in life drawing sessions I have been walking to around town over the last couple of months.

Motion

Motion

In the still air

of an imagined

purple fog.

In the silent air

a sense of motion

almost exposed.

Sketch from yesterday’s session with “TP”.

And So

And So

Almost a question,

to be just a little less

careful.

A little less safe.

Almost a challenge

to ignore so many

lines.

A little color instead.

Sort of rare. Wide open interactive eyes and a lasting smile for a fairly long pose.

And Smoke

And Smoke

And so wonderful was the smoke in Tennessee Williams “Summer and Smoke”. Had to do the sketch to bring back the evening.

Spent last week in London at a different theatre for four of the five nights. Liked “Summer and Smoke” at the Duke of York best.
