Happy Weekend and Monday morning wish

This is what I want to have my house look like on Monday morning.  DC will panic and I will have a three day weekend or a snow day.  Both are wins.

Another Traveller in life

A fellow traveler in the Metro of life.

Fellow Traveller - Backpack Girl

This is a quick sketch of Backpack Girl.  A fellow traveler o the Metro.  She was a good model for a short time on the platform.

Alaska Iceberg

We went on an Alaskan Cruise in September.  Part of the cruise was to travel up the Tracey Arm Fjord.  Even before we got to the Sawyer Glacier we saw some of the icebergs which had calved off the glacier.  It was an interesting combination of Green water, Blue and White ice.  This is a pastel on grey colored paper.

Afghan Man

This is a black and white charcoal drawing with a little blue pencil.  I really liked the folds of the clothing and his beard.  He had a great smile and very intense eyes.

The Pie Maker

This was a quick sketch of my daughter's friend, Bambino.  He was the pizza maker and I sketched him while we waited for ours.

More train stuff - Durango & Silverton

This sketch kept me busy and distracted a few years back while I waited for my truck to be repaired.  It is of a another narrow gauge train.  This one is the Durango and Silverton Line out of Durango, Colorado.  Until the steam engine was invented no one traveled faster than anyone else for a millennia or more.  Traveling on horse back was your only option for ground transport.  Then the steam engine could have you traveling consistently at at least 30 mph.
