Our Summer Fridays hasn't been kind to me the last couple of weeks (supposedly off-work at 2:00 pm provided all work is done). Today, I left work later than I would like but on the way to Grand Central Terminal, I got the idea to shake off the blues by sketching something, anything. I settled on a scene at the corner of 5th Avenue and West 38th Street. Surprisingly, it worked and I felt better as I added some more shading to the sketch on the train ride home. I thought the small touch of color on the flag made it more interesting.

Luckily you are in an area where there are inspiring scenes everywhere. Sorry you didn't get off work as early as you hoped, but you found a way to make it work by doing a sketch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan. One just need to pay a close look at a scene and the inspiration will come. I think you'll find inspiring scenes wherever you happen to be.
