Hanna at the Piano and Other things

An interesting morning, with Hanna working on her poetry, and then piano. She brought along a couple of flyers from the Open Heart Forgery - a monthly poetry publication that's definitely worth looking into (just click on the link and download some free stuff!). They'd like visitors to download their current PDF, print off a few copies, and drop them off wherever you might like. Pretty cool....

As for me, it was the usual Monday morning, slow getting going. Must be those wild weekends. But there are a few drawings that aren't too bad, one from the piano, several in the kitchen.

While I was drawing Hanna at the piano it struck me that something other artists must like are all those reflective surfaces (the piano, a mid 20C Knabe baby grand, is black and polished). If one of these piano pieces goes to a painting it's going to be, uh, fun?



Then a couple in the kitchen as we wind up the session, the first thinking about something....



and changing the song on the laptop...



Finally, how I really spent my weekend - still lots to do - the drawings in the upper part were taken from sketches at Halifax's famous South End Diner (Google street view). Except the odd looking bird. That's taken from Gauguin's Nevermore
