A Commuter Sketch on CAR 9188

I tried to get to the city much earlier than I had been in the past so catching the 7:59 am train was a great option except that it arrived at Harrison Station already crowded and not much open seat available.  I don't mind standing by the exit doors. Even better, it allowed me to have a nice look of the car interior and the passengers minding their own business.  It's a different point of view than what I've been accustomed to sketching in the past and I like it.

A Commuter Sketch on CAR 9295

Today was the second day I've taken the 7:59 am express train to Grand Central Terminal.  It stops at Harrison to pick-up/drop-off passengers, then Fordham, followed by Harlem 125th Street, before GCT.  It was a bit crowded but I didn't mind standing all the way down to the city because I discovered I had a better view from this end of the car.

Weekend Saturday Sketches

On Saturday morning, after my haircut, I did an in-car sketch of this now-closed house of worship.  The parking lot near the barber shop provided a great view of this building on a very bright and beautiful day.  I'm also happy that the nib repair done on my Pilot CH 912 FA was just fantastic, it glides so smoothly on the paper.  It was inspiring and a joy to use it.

In the afternoon, we took a short trip along 9W near Nyack, NY.   The wind was cold even with the sun fully out on a clear and cloudless afternoon.  On our way to Piermont, we took a different turn that brought us to Sparkill, NY which is a nice little town.  A corner cafe caught our attention so we parked our car nearby and had some coffee at Noble Cafe.
