Doodle at lunch.

I have 3 Moleskines in my work book bag daily: planner, sketchbook, old planner for scribbling and old info. Don't you think its a little too obsessive?  :-)

Figures.

Neptune Ave, January 10.

Sunny.

My Greatest Triumph.

When I was 20, I rode horses, swam,  rode a bike, skied, but I never ice skated. My best friend, who visited me for sketching on weekends, once told me, there should be nothing in this world you can't do, she said, trust me. And after midnight, when yard was empty, we went to the ice skating rink. Since that it was our little secret, we skated at night for years. She died 22 years ago. And I never ice skated since then. And never will.

Doodle...

...while multitasking.

6 Ave in Manhattan.

Went to Moma to see  Tim Burton. Was waiting at the corner for my daughter and sketched, was asked by police woman if I am drawing a map. I said, no, passing  time, waiting for my kid.

Subway sketches.

NY subway sketches. F train.

64 street in Brooklyn.

I parked so tight (rushing to the doc), half inch on each side, I didn't know I can do it. If I wont enjoy so much being a woman, I definitely wanna be a man! So I start sketching, hoping someone in front or back of my car will move out and free me. Didn't happen. But sketch was done. Ink in pocket Molly.

Waiting.

 I told my daughter, that I am the only person in the world who wont mind to wait for her to come down to the car for so long as it took her. She laughed. I sketched.

84 street in Brooklyn.

Sketch done from the car with sepia ink in pocket Moleskine. My School-G pen works a little smoother. I was enjoying the intimacy of this small street, people, knowing each other, kids, dragging bags from school. Quiet life.

Sketch of Inna.

Sunday morning.

Quiet street.

It was my morning exercise since I didn't have to go to work early. Finely I put my eyes on watercolor Molly. Used Bijou, Kolinski a bit and waterbrush. Dogs were with me, smelling with rain on the back of the car and listening to Chromeo.
