FINDING FIVE MINUTES--OR ONE


This is the house next to Kwik Trip in Elroy. It's old and tired. But I have always liked its many angles and roof lines and several chimneys. As well as a bit of a telescope feel. The gas was pumped and paid for. While I waited for Mom to come of the store I drew a quick version of the house. Bad. So I started this one. Then I saw her coming out of the door. I drew even faster.

These last three pictures are examples of my own attempts at Keeping At It. They were all drawn under one minute. Hardly the best stuff I've done, but in the daily doing, even if in those gap-moments, I find a continual honing.
