From the Cradle

...is the title of the blues album Clapton came up with in 1994...about going back to his roots as a blues guitarist, etc., etc...it´s also what I think of sketching -- a sort of return to a primordial, essential means of expression....just as valid as a finished, varnished, framed piece...

...plus it serves to de-brief from the more stressful things in life...and it´s one of the most fun things to do...

...notes from subway rides, bus stations, waiting rooms...


...once in a while, brush and colors, with more time, of course....
...from over the years...







Urban Sketchers is a fine blog if you like looking at this type of spontaneous expression.
