  I have interesting ability to see things, I saw before in a new light, every time is a first time. I forget how it looked before. This why I am never bored. (May be everybody is like me?) So this how I saw the place, where we usually go for cat food, this time, with dramatic shadows and bits of red. Watercolor (Japanese) and ink in Arches book.

  Vegetable Parmesan. “Shorty” is a fat short pencil with 3.15 mm lead, Worther, from Germany. So I was dragging my pencil around and draw what I saw to give it a try. Fennel looks very interesting and adds a lot of flavor to amazing Vegetable Parmesan dish.

  I added color even knowing it is not the right paper for it. I used my smallest mop brush, Winsor and Newton #2. The biggest I have 817/12 and I will need an easel to use it and a big pad.

  Union Square market. Fresh produce in the heart of the city. I saw “Bread alone” there. Bakery located in Boiceville, village Upstate, not far from us, we use to go that way once a week to get cat food, in happy times. We often went there for bread and sweets, or bowl of soup. Here again I used Falcon pen and Sepia ink.

  Thai food with red chopsticks. I am playing with Namiki Falcon and Sepia ink by Omas, ink from Italy. Little tribute to Thai food we enjoyed.

  Portico on 17 street near Union Square. I love thin lines of Falcon pen on Moleskine Sketch paper.

  Shopping on Brighton Beach could be a crazy adventure. I used vintage watercolor by American Crayon Sandusky Company, colors are really fun, so puritan. In Holbein sketchbook. And a song going along with it.
