I began with pencil, inked the main lines and added color to finish the sketch. The most satisfying part of this process occurred when I drew the framework. In this composition. the framework was the structure holding up the windows that formed the storefront. As I sketched the contents within the store, I experienced the sense of space on my 2-dimensional paper.

I live the drawing and your description of what you were thinking as you drew. I know that feeling of entering into a constructed world.
You construct your written worlds very well, Claudia. It is a pleasure to read your poetry. I think we must be experiencing the same phenomenon whilst creating.
Thank you. I think you are right. Getting lost in the composition. And that is one of the most rewarding places to be that I can think of, that is why I keep writing and doing art, I think you feel the same, from looking at your work and what you say about your processes.
Oops. Meant “ love”.
