You can see clearly in this drawing (I hope) the contrast between the marker and the pencil passages. Black ink has long been a favorite of mine. The photography still leaves a lot to be improved. Another 5" x 8" format.
I passed this place one of those Saturday morning walks I refer to regarding the Michigan Barn drawing. The name of this one shows the great creativity of the city fathers in naming the streets 100 plus years ago. This early mid 20th century dwelling is a favorite of mine, and one you pass traveling downtown from the west. I was not far on my walk early in January when I had to stop and do this sketch. It was chilly, but not as it should have been on a Kansas winter morning. A fellow soon stopped by to ask for a few cents for breakfast. I then had to decide whether to follow my rural mid-west inclinations and help him, or to do as they would in NYC and ignore him. But he was admiring my drawing...
