behind Carnegie


                    We first visited the original Carnegie Library in the early 1970's with Margaret Thomas.  This little rental has been sitting there in the alley behind the library probably longer than the Carnegie building.  The alleys almost always seem more interesting than the main drags.  That may be partly because there are less expectations there of the results. Google street view does not normally show the alleys, at least not yet.   I have drawn a number of the places along here.
                   This drawing is done entirely in pencil, due to what I perceived as the subtle nature of the shadows and highlights.
