May 2009: Trip to New York - part IV
My mini gouache set worked perfectly in a busy Manhattan street - right between a road workers, taxi drivers whistling and honking, a team of begging-singing locals and a herd of children off school. That is what I call a kaleidoscope ;)
Buildings: rood tops, trees on roofs, pipes, I even got some people in my sketches :)
May 2009: Trip to New York - part III
Museums - one of the main points of my visit to NY - here is a snapshot of some of my pages with notes on what I chose to visit ;)
Below - what fell on my book while I waited for rain to stop or at least slow down a little and a view from under that same tree that bore me these gifts - also while waiting ;)

One of these I showed earlier I think - in process, posted from my phone:
I think I have a couple more of the process - will find and post later ;)
May 2009: Trip to New York - part I
People waiting for this flight mostly looked like someone waiting for a bus. Some even greeted each other with a silent nod, some stopped to discuss "so you are going to NY again?" subject. Small bags, book or cell or computer - ready to use the moment they found a space to park their rear. May be it's me (I did not fly over the last few years) and this is how people usually look there - or may be it's the kind of flight - regular, convenient, cheap "read eye" to New York :)
Ten minutes after our plain took off - blankets, pillows and pens are out - for some it's time to sleep, for others - to draw before a nap ;) There was a little boy not far from me - he kept doodling with his aquadoodle (great thing for parents and kids - you paint with water on a piece of cloth - no mess, lots of fun, as soon as cloth is dry - doodle again!) long after his parents fell asleep ;)
