The skies have been cloudy for the past week or so, with lots of rain. The photo below is a reminder of past days of sunshine.
I used some blind drawing in this sketch, but what I like most about it is the inner details.
I’m drawn to geometric forms. If I don’t see them au naturel, I make them up. One way to ‘make up’ geometric forms in photography is to bring all shapes, no matter their depth, to the frontal plane*. This ambition is opposite to that which perspective aspires. *The 2-dimensional frame of the photograph.
It was a small waiting room, and crowded. I had a hard time hefting my pen in this elbow-to-elbow crowd while guarding my sketchbook against prying eyes.
The palm tree is divided in two by the frame of the mirrored window.
Words fail me.
I like when portraits flow nicely across the fold of my journal.
