Today was back to work and back on BART. These folks (above) were my entertainment on my morning ride. These sketches are all in my little Moleskine.
I sketched these people (above) at Saul’s Deli after dinner while waiting for Michael to return from the men’s room.
These folks were at Peets. I like walking up there from my house, getting a latte, doing a quick drawing and walking back home. It’s a one-mile walk and a pleasant destination. I had trouble with the guy’s wife because she kept talking and moving. He just sat there without moving anything except for his wonderful bushy eyebrows.

Great sketches. What color ink is that? Actually, what kind of pen is it that you used? I really like your results.
I just picked up a Moleskin last week. I’m loving it.

Jana, if this rose is a watercolor demo I sure wish I lived around you to take this class. Its just beautiful I love Roses can you tell. Ill be looking at this rose maybe I can get ideas on how to do them.
Your new year plans sound wonderful. I want to draw more been ill this last year and seem to be going backwards or Im wanting to be perfect and I’m being hard on myself, the latter sounds like the answer.
Can’t wait for this years words, paintings ,and what your up to. Im so happy I found your blog.

these are always the kind of drawings that mean the most to me, it’s great to look back on them months (or years!) later and remember the moment, these are great fun! I don’t see any “trouble’ at all, you’re captured her pose and animated speech beautifully, the figure in the second sketch too!

I love the woman with the hat the best!!! The man in the forefront is a detail I would not have thought about, it’s great. It’s like a passing cloud. Th eman of the hufty brows and his wife/comppanion is really something. Love all of them!
