Waiting for the doctor

I spent some time at the urgent care tonight to have a tick bite looked at. Turned out not to be too serious, got some antibiotics... but of course it took forever. Good thing I brought my sketchbook.

Library break room snack machine

I didn't do a drawing yesterday! (only the second time all year, but still, I felt bad) I was going to do two today to make up for it, but I didn't have time, and I DID do two on Friday, so I think I'll call it even. I did this one today during my 15-minute break, not enough time to finish it, but oh well.

Gregory getting a haircut

I accidentally started writing the date "3/...", then I realized it's June. Where does the time go?

 Bulldozer

Excavator

They're widening a road about a mile from my house. It was a beautiful day, I needed a walk, I needed to do my daily drawing, so... I walked over to the construction site with my sketchbook and my Sharpie fine pen. It was the evening rush hour and cars were whizzing by on the two-lane, soon to be four-lane, road. The top drawing was done from across the road. I liked drawing the little bulldozer in profile. He looks smug at what he's accomplished. The second drawing was done further down the road, by continuing on after a sign told me the sidewalk was closed and I needed to cross here. I kept going on dry, hard-packed clay, and found a whole line of big machines. I feel very sorry for folks whose houses back up to this road; they are losing most of their back yards, and will soon have traffic speeding by right under their bedroom windows.

P.E.I. pebbles

This little black tray is full of small rocks picked up on Prince Edward Island, nestled into a bed of red sand that this eastern Canadian province is known for.

June self-portrait

The first of the month, another self-portrait - this one in colored pencil (no erasing, I got what I got.) I just got a haircut!
