Until She Appears

Until She Appears

Finding a conspicuous place to wait for her to appear. What to do if and when she does.

Of course, I just watched.

Dancers at Cadogan Place Garden

Dancers at Cadogan Place Garden

The sculpture I have sketched here is in this garden. I don’t know the artist though, or what he may have titled it. I sketched this based on a photo I took when in London a few summers ago. I remember walking by these two dancing, two or three times a day. I of course would stop and watch them, thinking I could see them move.

Both images are of the same sketch photographed under slightly different lighting. I did the white accents with a silver pen that ended up reflecting in the first image. The first looks better reduced. The second looks better when the image is enlarged. Or at least that’s what I was thinking, the reason I posted both.

Discovering the Void

Discovering the Void

They seemed to be hiding

Everyone who had ever felt

What I was feeling now

They knew I could see

Faces serious

Some in tears

Some angry knowing

They’d been found

Wishing I hadn’t come

In sympathy

I began thinking

I was one of them now

Finding what I shouldn’t

But did

The Purchase

The Purchase

The sketch is based on a photo taken a few days ago while casing the crowd at the annual Woodward Dream Cruise this previous weekend. I was looking for subjects to draw. There were venders set up all over selling things related to the cruise. I know: where are the cars?.

I found these three more interesting contemplating items to buy.
