train sketch

Good evening.

Excellent day today: walking, swimming, fruit collecting (small red plums) jam making;

poker playing, and art ideas moving forward.

This is a very bad photo of one of my sketch books. I always carry one, and draw whenever I'm not required to do anything else, usually in places where I'm just waiting — tyre changing garages, doctor's surgery, tax office etc. Train journeys are especially good.
I'm in the middle of a painting currently based on this drawing. A two minute 'moving' sketch of everything passing by the window, somewhere between Toulouse and Carcassonne
