I felt a little guilty drawing this fellah because he is overweight but who could resist drawing him? so interesting and different and challenging. When done I thanked the Universe and him with a slight nod and bow towards his direction. This makes sense to me. (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDjVrhh8SI/?igshid=odc0tfxtc9fi

In order to practice I’m adding color to old drawings I didn’t like. Now I like these guys. Watercolor and color pencil. (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/brek.art/p/BwyCCC2nok9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kum6p3gejpt3

Same guy different days. Instead of finishing his hair the next time I saw him I decided to draw him again. (at Chicago metropolitan area) https://www.instagram.com/brek.art/p/Bwalte2HKAl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p3irgtjf48e5

Do you think these guys are brothers? I realized they have similar features when I looked at this picture again. (Drawing in pencil lately.) (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdqYULHQNi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tag3ggf57rw6

My friend Brad just sent me this pic he took in 1980. Yep it’s David Bowie and my infatuated 17 year old self. I didn’t even know this existed till yesterday. Thanks Brad! (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZBIYnnqGO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1imu71bjyrpbz

Christmas Eve, early morning. I usually don’t opt for drawing the homeless or seemingly destitute but this person had a hook for a hand and frankly , their face was obscured so they couldn’t see me so I began to draw. This scene put me in a place of teary gratitude for the life I get to live today. Especially the day before Christmas.

I got a new sketchbook- it is for landscapes, which I thought was fitting. It’s 6”x12”. And I am trying out some different pens too. The sketchbook is awkward and heavy but it was calling to me to just try it out. #changeitup https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQ5r93HBlk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gxj3tuco4bzq

11/26/18- Monday….An icy , rainy , 50mph wind, blizzard condition day. No one was on the train when I boarded and I was questioning my decision to go to work. My dad called to check if in fact I did go to work on this horrendous day. i assured him I did. I basked in his warm appreciation of my dedication ,as he called it , to show up for my employer. Thanks dad and #cta (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqs3G_Inw7k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g0rmfty3t7b2
