sketchbook

I was feeling slightly nauseous before I started sketching at the Bloor Gladstone Library after work today and after I finished this spread the nausea disappeared. Something was reaffirmed today: sketching is my meditation.

Ottawa Airport Grounds Crew

 Final painting. Oil on cradle board. 11x17 in.
