I’d forgotten about Hamilton’s race around the bay a 30 kilometre marathon that has attracted runners annually since 1894 – the oldest marathon in North America – three years older than the Boston marathon. Phew, wow….
So when I left early to draw two Sundays ago (March 25) I wasn’t prepared for the closure to the downtown and horrendous back up of traffic that kept me driving a good 50 minutes around in circles, wrong way down one way streets, cursing vehemently and causing me to be a good 15 minutes late for my life session. Then to give new meaning to the cliché ‘adding insult to injury’ I learned that our model would not appear because her booking had not been confirmed! Really!
These drawings are from this past Sunday, April 3 - hardly any traffic, the town seemed quite deserted.
Marcia, so glad you posted these. Wonderful line quality and spontaneous feeling. Love em.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat. Traffic can be a major bane in the direct route to an art session. So glad the last session was ultra good. Fantastic drawings.

Hi Doug,
ReplyDeleteIt's always so gratifying to hear from you. I am loving the photographs you've been posting - they are just simply awesome!!! What an amazing trip you're on.
Marcia
You're absolutely right Barbara, a slow lane and a no go lane can be a major bane.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering btw what and if there is a difference between super and ultra - I saw two kinds of dental floss at the drug store recently - one ultra and the other super and I thought that both would probably be excellent. Sorry for my tangential thought, purely rhetorical - you don't have to answer it - and thank you very, very much for your lovely comment.
love, Marcia
