Work in Progress  Silver Moon Bakery   2010

 
Text Box: The majority of my drawings have been done while I’ve been on vacation. There’s a limited amount of time and I’m under the deadline of the end of the time in a place. Almost every time I’ve started a drawing at home I’ve abandoned it. Things have gotten busy or I’ve been focused on work or some other problem has taken precedence. There has always been the fact that I need to get some distance from the subject. It seems to have taken me almost five years of retirement from television to realize that, to some degree, I’m now always on vacation. Last month’s chapter was the first fruit of that simple realization. I got out my drawing chair and assigned myself a couple of hours each day to draw. After that one was finished I found two other possibilities and this is the start of one of them. I found a location on one of the islands in the middle of Broadway and have been going out at the same time of day when the weather allows and there aren’t too many people on the benches next to where I’m planting my chair. We’ll see how this goes.

I’ve always found it hard to draw when I’m not on vacation. It’s taken me almost 5 years to realize that I can consider myself on vacation all the time. Here’s Chapter 51 in progress.
