Mail order

       

          Take a couple ol' Sharpies, and dive strait into a sheet of white paper, and something like this may be the result. For better or for worse!  I was at the new library picking up a book and had enough time to stand just inside the northeast corner windows and do this sketch of the trucks parked in line in the Post Office parking lot.  A little pattern of some kind or other can be a key to interest in a drawing.  Here the line of truck windows provides that pattern.  The trick is to not be distracted by other detail and forget the main focus of the sketch. 
          I think they are calling those corner windows in the library "the lookout" or maybe "the overlook". When I went back by there the other day the chairs were all full of people. It is about 15-20 feet above the street. There is a nice view of the park area to the west. The PO is to the north.

  1. They must have moved the adult section to the west side of the library, then.
