Lost Intruder

 

Lost Intruder

Roaming through

the places 

where they hide.

Looking out.

Pretending you 

aren’t there. 

 

Another unplanned sketch. So this occurred. 

4”x 5” Fountain pen and wide felt tip

Behind a Story

 

Behind a Story

Yes, a story before them

almost there in the mist. 

But the story would take 

so much more time 

than the sketch.

 

Daily sketching of random faces found and then showing up again and again over time on my laptop screen. 

14”x 11” ink and wash

Preoccupied

 

Preoccupied

Too much happening inside 

in the best places to be 

to be where we are 

expected to be.

 

Daily sketching. Sketched from reference photos on a revolving stage in “Virtual Pose 3”. A substitute for life drawing. 

12”x 9” ink, oil sanguine, chalk and a bit of black graphite on tinted paper

Return

So hoped to escape. 

Attempted to pretend so.

So much has passed. 

Might be the time to go.

 Daily sketching. A great pose. Viewing my laptop screen and pretending the model is posing in front of me in these isolated times. Viewing a You Tube Daily Life Drawing video.

Looking up to the light 

stealing all the dark. 

Up where most  

drama starts.
