Sketching in Line

 Sketching while waiting in line at the grocery store.

You whip out your small (inconspicuous) 4 X 6 book,

your pen, & in seconds you go from being bored

to being interested, sometimes even disappointed

that the line has moved along!

 You have your book handy. You reach for it fast.

A friend says,

"Rita, you have the fastest sketchbook in the West!"
Quick unfinished sketches are fine. Spontaneous!
(I added a bit of color at home, 
from color notes I'd made.)

My small Art Learning Book now doubles for a 

On-the-Scene sketch book, 

because I carry it with me at all times.

(on the right: notes about Richard Diebenkorn's drawings.)

We are a One-Car-Wash Town. My car stayed dirty

because I avoided the long lines.

Now, my car is clean because: I Sketch!

PS New feature: I have added responses to the notes

on the previous post. A new part of blogging for me.
Will continue to do so...
