Here’s a couple more sketches that I haven’t yet posted.   I will say that I’ve been focused more on living and doing stuff this summer than painting - I suppose I should not feel guilty about it because I’m living - but I also wondering what happens when it’s no longer summer, this fall.

I did this drawing about 6 weeks ago but didn’t post it, unless I did post it and forgot about it - not entirely impossible - I’ve been struggling since this spring to find what the next direction for me is - and I think this drawing, in subtle ways, reflects the struggle.

I also did this sketch in lower Manhattan, the same afternoon I went to Governer’s Island.

I also did this sketch last week, but didn’t spend long on it.  In a way, I’m doing so much Social Media work, and getting ready for my speaking engagements in California in the next few weeks - that I haven’t really focused on my painting at all.

But that’s not surprising, as I’ve often found that I grow best, by not focusing on any one thing for too long - which is partially why I paint much faster today than I did 20 or 30 years ago.  I know exactly what I’m after, and when I reach it, or feel I do, I stop.
