studio studies and a street scene

[jimboloco]

I did this about two summers ago in a class at the art center with a Quaker friend, Carole Dameron, a portrait artist.

THanks, I wish I could paint and do prints!
Just drawing.
I have about a hundred more drawings out back, most of them are scribbles.



I did this one last Saturday. I saw the bicicleta bicycle coming towards me, made a gesture scribble, then he passed and last glance through the rear mirror, then, voila, all of a sudden the gesture lines were suggesting the bike going the other way, so that's how it emerged. I can't control it.

Que hora es en Paraguay?

[Arcadia]

were you drawing in the middle of the road??

Paraguay?. No sé, en Rosario son las 10:45 AM del día de la Independencia.

I was parked to the right side by an old house where I had a room in 1989. I had been sleeping in my car on a bridge by a fishing place and got this little room, stayed on that street in three places for several years while working into nursing.

So as it became composed, it took on its own life and appears as tho I am in the street, what can I say? I don't have any expectations. Were I to draw the same scene today, it would turn out differently.

I think it is cool that you live with the piranas.

yeah, we have all kind of pirañas here (in a methaphoric sense), but talking about pirañas-pirañas we have "palometas" in summer when the river is low and the waters are hot. You have to be prepared to lose one toe (dedo de los pies) or more if you want to bath in the river, specially in the canales among the islands.
