My dream was to draw every day during our move.

My reality has been catching moments while running errands

Yesterday turned into much more than a moment, when, while trying to complete my transaction, the computer malfunctioned. I was so thankful I’m in the habit of packing a small sketchbook everywhere I go. 

Thinking I would just have a few minutes, I did this quick sketch of the customer beside me. I didn’t take time to perfect it, but was pleased with what I captured. 

 

 

Thinking my errand was nearly done, I put my sketchbook back into my purse but when the computer started beeping and my purchase couldn’t be completed I pulled it out again. I ended up having much more time than I wanted to complete a study of my Sea Salt And Lemon Water. I’m so glad I grabbed this beverage on my way out of the subway station. I never imagined once I stepped into this building, I wouldn’t resurface for over two hours. I was tired and hungry when I finally left, but at least my thirst was satisfied – for water and for sketching!
