Overcast Alley


          Nice what you can do with just a partly worn out extra fine Sharpie. Done in a small Strathmore sketch pad. Not the best photography, as you can see the drawing that is behind it showing through here and there.
          This is one of the east Lawrence alleys that beg for a sketch to be done. Lots of stories could be told by these buildings; lots of secrets kept. Hundreds of kids over the years have chased through these places.  It had been a day of light rain before I stopped here to get a drawing done.  These few blocks next to downtown have seen endless construction the last few years; you may be able to make out the barrier at the end of the alley.  Not the only place I have ended up lately that has had a barrier providing me as I hope with a quiet place to park. Free parking and no traffic. But this time someone came in behind me eventually so I had to finish up quickly.
