For all the places in my town that I've drawn that then are razed and replaced for something supposedly better, there are the places that I intended to sketch but didn't get around to before they were taken down. ;-/Marcia Milner-Bragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948925791659846247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904156643837518494.post-35339778334885650552016-03-23T21:28:30.335-05:002016-03-23T21:28:30.335-05:00Great post, Kate.

It was the first sketch I'd seen of a very mundane subject that looked so good. You convinced me that looking for a 'good' subject was silly and that, in fact, it was an interesting challenge to draw the mundane. I'm not as good as you are at doing so but I still aspire to that goal.
