Cheskies



Various sizes in Moleskine

I am still not getting any painting done so, in the interests of keeping this blog alive, I am posting some sketches I did last week in Montreal. 

My daughter lives in the "Mile End" region of Montreal, in one of the noisiest apartments I have ever been in. It isn't so bad in the winter, but with no air-conditioning, all the windows are open right now and with a busy street on one side and a rouelle that is used by delivery trucks on another.....

I am not really complaining though. There is constant entertainment, and the bakery across the street is open from around 7:00 am until 11:00 pm, with a steady stream of interesting characters in and out all day long.


Asleep on the Train

3.5″X5.5″ Pencil on paper

There are some advantages to drawing people while they are asleep. This lady was completely oblivious to my presence, although the man beside her was giving me some funny looks. Of course her head kept nodding forward which spoiled my concentration somewhat. The Moleskine notebook’s pages are so thin that the drawing I did on the page behind is showing through on this one. That is for another day.
