Unexpected Opportunities

8/5/24 U Village

8/19/24 Pike Place Market (deliberately trying to 
draw less than I could see)

 


“Sorry! Taking longer than I expected.”

The text from a friend came several minutes after our meeting time. My reply: “No problem. I’m sketching. 😉

By nature, I’m punctual (perhaps annoyingly so). Even when I know certain friends are habitually late, I can’t help but be on time. Sometimes I recall all the occasions before I started drawing when I used to feel mildly irritated if I was made to wait. Now that I draw, I’m no longer “made to wait” – I’m given unexpected opportunities to sketch.

  1. I look for your sketches every morning. You have inspired me to keep sketching, esp after I drop off for a few months. Just wanted to thank you for your commitment to your blog!

  2. I feel the same way when I have to wait for someone or something. I don't mind because I can sketch. Nice captures of little bits of life.
