"I got sick of doing EDM sketches"

Ok, so I thought sketching those Everyday Matters challenges would be . . . challenging.  They were.  But only because because I began feeling restricted in what I wanted to sketch on any given day, or to put it another way: b o r i n g. 

I mean when it got to "draw a piece of clothing," all I could think of was a simple-lined t-shirt. And why, I mean really, would I want to draw a piece of clothing.  Though Danny Gregory was the inspiration for the list, I don't think he had anything to do with putting it together.  That was left to Karen, Patty, Helen, Susan, and other ... people.  

So I went back to my old ways.  Heading out to find a place, a thing, a person, or an event to sketch.  A place to get away in one's head to something a little more interesting than grocery store lists, shampooing carpets, shoveling snow, etc.

I like sketching.  I like it a lot.  It freshens my head from a good portion of the extraneous effluvia that floats about each day.

So here ya go:
Snowmover in Costco's parking lot. 

He sat down straight away in front of me a Barnes & Noble.  Never looked up while he read his book.
