Musician Alex. It was pretty surprising to hear my childhood songs highlighted by saxophone, while I was drawing trees and brunches for old people. My father use to collect songs, so I heard many from old times and they dear to my heart.
I outlined the figure of musician and the rest dissolved into the light. I used ink and gold watercolor for saxophone, it doesn’t scan well. -

Sketches in the hospital and on the train back. I spent a day in the hospital with my friend, who undergo very serious operation. I am happy it went well and better than expected and I will have my friend back in better health. I used different pencils: Blackwing 602, Durer, Faber-Castell, Pitt oil. I even took sharpener with me. Here is half of the pages I sketched that day.

Potato skins. As much as I was able to finish this drawing, because potato was eaten and a few given to a friend, and many things happened, pretty heart breaking, but life is going on. The recipe was very interesting, from Google somewhere and it was a pleasure assisting my daughter to make it, it calls “Soft Potato Skins”, with fake bacon (my daughter doesn’t eat meat) and sour cream.
I used ink and Inktense blocks, it was a present from Bob, from Scotland, really interesting technique. THANK YOU, BOB! -
