I am one of those people who think that, if you are an artist, it is OK to draw anywhere. This probably comes from when I was a kid and was admonished not to doodle in class or at social occasions. Later on, I found that, having some sort of attention problem, the “distraction” of drawing helps me to concentrate in meetings and that I can hold a conversation or listen intently while drawing. I also find that listening to music helps me to focus when I work. Since I discovered this, I have met many others who say the same thing. So, it turns out, I am not totally nuts. This little bird was drawn with a ball tip pen on the back of a paper place mat at the Glory Days Diner while waiting for a chicken-in-the-basket (complete with fries and fried onion rings) dinner. The other side of the place mat is filled with advertisements, including one offering a “free consultation” another for Mr. Carmine’s Laser Hair Therapy and yet another for Red’s Garage (featuring step bars, lift kits and bed covers). There was also an invitation to become a volunteer fire fighter. Is it showing off to draw in public? If others see what I am doing, they invariably are drawn in and get a kick out of what I am doing. By the way, no idea what sort of bird we have here. I was thinking of a sparrow.
