Here You Are

I know the pose was

quite a long time ago,

for someone else.

But here you are

being sketched again.

Daily practice in these times of isolation. Sketched from laptop screen,  from a long ago black and white photo.

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

From Another Time

From Another Time

Could have been

yesterday or

the day before.

Probably long ago

from another time.

Daily practice in these times of isolation. Sketched yesterday from laptop screen.  A long ago black and white photo.

Deciding a future awaits

worth preparing for.

Sketched viewing my laptop screen pretending the model was posing for me in these isolated times. Viewing a You Tube Daily Life Drawing video.

Effort to pretend.

Craving an allusion.

Some sort of

inner peace.

Daily practice. Re-sketching poses from before.
