This is a detail from the first sketch of the current series. I remember going to the Automat in NYC with my grandmother one time. I don’t remember which one. I understand there were a lot of them back in the day. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my […]
I don’t remember exactly where this was, but I was struck by all the signage. The painted signs on the buildings of NYC were windows to the past (some were painted around actual windows). In the 1980s and 90s, when I lived there, they fascinated me. I don’t know if mural fever took over in […]
This is the first series in which I sketched people. I like the first group portrait. The assembly of sketches shows some inconsistency. I need practice sketching faces.

I’m pretty sure that these folks are on their way home. The woman holding what looks like an oversized book is actually reading something we once called a newspaper. Years ago, many people would keep up on all the news and other current events with these bulky papers. When I was a kid, my dad […]

These are people on the subway platform (at 68th Street) in NYC. I sketched them from a photo I took. It is (or at least, it was for me at that time) daunting to take photos of people in such a confined space. Recall that cell phones were not the device of choice to take […]
This double portrait focused on the last of the two ladies in the first sketch of this series. I like the gesture of the lady speaking and attitude of concentration of the lady listening to the story.

This is a sketch of the woman on the left from yesterday’s post. I copied it from the original photo, but the resolution was not good enough to let me see the fine features in much detail. I conveyed the impression that: 1) this is an older person; 2) the person is cold; or 3) […]
