Hall dresser

I walk past this scene a gazillion times a day. Why then does it take so long to see the possibilities for a drawing?  One night in the reduced lighting it finally became clear to me... I like the result, although it is not as dark as the actual scene.  The notes on the drawing say only,"1/8/16    9:20 pm"   I guess I was concerned about resetting the scene on another night when I went to finish it.  I did not need to worry-  although most of it was done in greatly reduced lighting, once the main idea was on the paper, the rest did not need such careful reproduction of the scene.  Really, it did take me a few nights to finish it up, sometimes working on it only a few minutes for lack of time or motivation.
