| 7/24/25 Chuck's Auto in Maple Leaf |
Only 10 blocks up the street from me, Chuck’s Auto is where
I take both my little Miata and Greg’s Subaru for servicing. Reliable and
reasonably priced, it’s also convenient because I can walk home after I’ve
dropped off a car.
(After the high of Sketcher Fest, it’s always a bit hard to get back into the swing of mundane, fitness-walk sketching, but life goes on, doesn’t it? Thankfully, I never tire of the mundane.)
Technical note: I’ve always loved my Sailor fude pen for its thick and thin lines, but I’d forgotten how much I also like its squiggly nature. It’s the opposite of a precise technical pen. Since I hadn’t used it much in Uglybooks until now, I was surprised to find that it feathers and bleeds a bit on this stout, 80-pound paper – and yet I like the look. Years ago, that would have bothered me. Maybe that lengthy break from my Sailor was good for our relationship.
I love the Sailor pen! The lines seem so expressive to me. I really appreciate how you find interesting things even in mundane everyday life!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy! Most of my life is mundane ;-) , so I'm happy that you don't find my sketches boring!
DeleteMundane? Bah! What is it they say? Everything is interesting when you sketch it. And that is how I feel about what you share with us. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to have an auto repair shop that you trust...and honoring it with a sketch is a fine idea.
