Perhaps because I was recovering from a bout of the flu last week, my sketches ended up looking less than energetic as well. Here's hoping this coming week will bring renewed energy and fresh new subjects!

From My Sketchbook – A Prolific Week
It felt like I spent as much time sitting in trains last week as I did in my chair in the pit at Lincoln Center’s Koch Theater. While playing for the Miami City Ballet was a treat, it was also a nice to have so many opportunities for people watching and sketching on the commutes. Here are just a few of the sketches I did:
Woman in cardigan, glasses and sling-back shoes reading subway billboard…
Long-haired woman wearing rain boots and patterned stockings…
Sketch of woman with sunglasses and leather jacket…
Woman wearing retro-styled outfit and updo…
Woman with cornrow braids and glasses…
From My Sketchbook – The Travelers
We just arrived back home from a quick trip to Washington, D.C. We were too early for the cherry blossoms, although I LOVED my visit to see the orchid show at the United States Botanical Garden. (In case you missed my post about the visit, you can still see the photos here.)
Also memorable was our visit to the Holocaust Museum. Memorable isn’t the only word that describes that experience, though. Haunting, thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, disturbing, sad, overwhelming, and inspiring are also apt. In any case, our D.C. trip felt very full and I confess that my sketchbook got a little forgotten.
But I did capture this young couple yesterday waiting for their train in Union Station.
