The Greatest Thing About Drawing (Conclusion)

In the wee hours of the night, The Muse came calling. She looked like a mermaid, scales shimmering in the moonlight. I followed her lead, an earth type seeking relief from the unaccustomed heat in the chill waters of the sea.

The Greatest Thing About Drawing (cont.)

The oil change turned out to be a bust. I was only waiting for ten minutes and a German lady with a little black poodle wanted to talk about the woods fire that was happening right down the road. I conversed just to hear her accent, in between five fire trucks that screamed down the road to do their thing. The oil change was over in a jiffy, not even time to open the pad. Next time I’ll look for a Muy Lento Lube instead.

Managed to continue the piece late at night after everyone else was asleep. It spoke to me of cool ocean waters and winged kelp.

The Greatest Thing About Drawing

There are many good things about drawing, but right now the best thing is that it’s portable. I can take my sketch pad anywhere and get in a few lines here and a few lines there. Started this image for the next coloring book of horses at my sons’ music lessons a few days ago. While they were being instructed in piano and guitar, I had thirty serene minutes in the cool, quiet waiting area with pencil and pad. Like a flash it was over, and we were off to run a few errands, then home to start dinner. Maybe tomorrow while having the oil changed in my van, if there’s no one sneaking sideways peeks, I can work on the background for twenty minutes before they call me to the counter for my new reminder decal.
