Das ganz kleine Skizzenbuch war immer dabei seit Frühjahr 2015. Darin sind schnelle Zeichnungen hauptsächlich aus dem öffentlichen Nahverkehr (U- und S-Bahn, Straßenbahn und Bus). Zeichnen, so wenig wie möglich auf das Papier schauen. Jetzt ist es voll. Die Zeichnungen werden zu ganz kleinen Aquarellen (7,5x7,5 cm).
Always with me the very tiny sketchbook (3 x 3 inches) is for quick sketches without looking at the page. Pencil drawings become very tiny watercolor paintings over time.
By Leslie, of the guy at the table next to us, who was talking loudly of how popular he was in high school. Um, yeah. An axe through the head for you, sucker!

"Hey you."
I sipped my drink then nodded.
"Still busy painting?"
"Always. What is new?"
"As you can see I am still rocking the pixie cut."
I must have made a face without realizing it.
"What?"
"No grown up should be "rocking" anything, it is an absurd descriptive word unless one is actually holding a mic or instrument. "Oh he is rocking those boots" "Watch as this chef rocks the sea urchin with truffles (Top Chef) ".
The look i got was almost the one I decided to paint but went instead with the one where she was still annoyed at me but realized she was enjoying herself despite it.
"You going to write about this too?".
I said yes and she laughed. She made things complicated by allowing me to show the face drawing but not the couch pieces.
"You can show the face one but not these they are private and if you write, please no last names."
She was semi hoping I would get one part of this wrong and so she would have a legitimate reason to be angry with me which would not die down, a campfire left unattended, so fast. When the bill came even though she kept up with me she did not pantomime even pretending to have a case of lead arm.

People draw inspiration from many sources, many of these seem distantly unrelated to the final instance of creation. Some personify these sources of creativity in the form of muses, originally mentioned in ancient Greek writings. Personally, I'd like to imagine my "muses" into 3 personas - which may or may not be linked to the Greek versions. I describe one of my muse as feisty, child-like... almost mischievous and a little unpredictable and wild... ideas are born out of storm - a mindstorm. Another one is motherly and nurturing because an idea has to be fed and taken care of until its complete fruition. And finally, the muse is honest and natural, baring and transparent... nothing contrived and truly reflective of the soul. But what's funny, it seems my muses speak more when I'm down recalling Stevie Smith's "Why does my Muse only speak when whe is unhappy? She does not, I only listen when I am unhappy." Which leads mo to think, how many of these pages were made during times when I'm happy or during times when I'm down?
It took a long time before I made another page in my Moleskine again. And what better topic than to talk about my muse/muses. It take a certain level of motivation to work on art, but once I get inspired the process is easy. And in one way or another, I lost my muse, thus the hiatus.

Arrived early (shock) for an appointment today and sketched this old church now converted to offices. Bluestone and sandstone - some of the sandstone has crumbled away. Might add some colour now that I'm home.

I was bidding on this beautiful watch on ebay but lost the auction. At least the drawing is mine. As if that wasn’t enough my pen ran out of ink but I want to think it was just the right time to stop ...
