Sunshine and Drizzle

 

12/24/24 Maple Leaf neighborhood

Sketching during my fitness walks has been difficult lately. The potential for a sketch is always my incentive to get out the door, but when it’s wet or cold, I just want to get the walk over with. On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, I was treated to enough sunshine to make sketching pleasant, and the temperature seemed balmy compared to the low 40s we had been having.

More common is the gray drizzle I find myself walking in frequently. If the drizzle is on the dry side (yes, drizzle has different degrees of dampness), I can still sketch, and the family walking about a half-block ahead of me was irresistible. I’d like to make more sketches like this – literally sketch-walking – but even though dog walkers are plentiful, they have to be walking ahead of me in the same direction, and we all have to be walking at about the same pace. Once in a while I get lucky.
