Making it a Habit

The other day, dashing to a meeting, I stopped in the Roosevelt Bartel's to wait for a prescription.  But I had grabbed my sketchbook, and in a 2nd floor corner window,  facing south, I had a great little view towards Roosevelt and 50th St. You can see Sacred Heart, of course, and signs of spring.  It does help me sometimes, to have only 15-20 minutes to sketch, and adding the color at home, I was able to stay in the quick sketch mode.

Sketching in the car is one of the best rewards of compulsive earliness.  This little oil sketch (8" x 6") was my souvenir from a pleasant hour!  I go around and climb into the passenger seat to avoid the steering wheel.  Watch out for cars whizzing by!
