I had just poached an egg and poured my coffee. As I carried
both to the breakfast table, I sensed light in my peripheral vision. We’d had
such a succession of cloudy or rainy mornings that I’d forgotten to look for
it: Sunrise!
I dashed upstairs. There’s nothing like breakfast cooling to make me sketch fast! But the sun waits for no sketcher, even at breakfast.

I had thought of these sunrise sketches you do from an upstairs window when you were talking about a perpetual sketchbook. Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but some do sketch the same view every day of the year. I could see columns of these across the spread, each column a day, each row a year.
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be cool! I know someone who makes daily skyscapitos just like that! A grid of these would look so cool! Unfortunately, I'm not inspired during the months of continual gray skies, so it would be a short-lived perpetual journal for me. ;-)
Deletelol - I can just imagine! Does sound like it could get pretty boring over time. :-)
