When I am making coffee…

At the moment, it is ‘Lazy Sunday’ coffee. This is the view from the window. It is a nice view, quite high up. I can watch the world from a little arch window and nobody knows I am there. It was rather grey and stormy as the rain had tipped it down the day before. I had been on my bike.

Ruth and Jon

What an amazing day. It is important to recognise when life is good. This day was a good day.

So this is the first of (hopefully) many drawings I am going to make from other peoples houses.

I was not massively happy with the drawing to begin with. I felt that I was approaching it in a slightly timid way, which was annoying. After a while of graphite and black pen I decided to attack it with water and blue ink. I liked it better than before but it was still not quite there so I attacked it again, with white spray paint, more graphite and a permanent marker. Ahh that’s better. I could still work on it for another hour or two but my marker ran out and my feet were pretty dirty. So I called it day and clambered back through the window.

I would like to buy a massive roll of paper next so I am not working on a long narrow piece. This drawing does remind me of the concertina sketchbook, that had been quite successful. Big rectangular pieces to come….
