The waiting room # 1

I spent the morning today in a hospital waiting
room with a family member. Luckily I brought
my iPad along. And though I usually like the
drawing app because it's a good way to produce
colour on the run, I thought I'd draw with black
line instead. I've never used just black before
and loved how it felt.

I draw with my finger, (I don't want a stylus, orto draw this way most of the time) and I like
the way that distorts or alters the drawing. The great
thing about drawing on one is that no one suspects
you are drawing. Everyone just sees the iPad as
a game console, or YouTube viewer and that
does help.

So here they are -- quick sketches of peoplein the waiting room.
And all is well. We were out and into the
first really warm, and bright day, just before lunch.
I've started a little painting, but it isn't ready
for your eyes.
Have a taking it line by line day

Hi Barbara, have just been catching up on your blog. Great to see you took New York by storm!! What a fabulous experience for you. Love your baby portraits and your pansies. These i-pad drawings are great - I particularly love the last one!
Hi Wendy,
Thank you so much. I'm glad you like it. There is something powerful about the silence in a waiting room even with a TV on. The mood of everyone comes through in small gestures. That's what I was trying to get.
Love your work.
XOXOXO Barbara

Hi Nicki,

These are great! I just love the calligraphic line. Wonderful.
Hi Kim,
Thank you. I am thinking of doing some more. There is something incredibly free about drawing with your finger instead of a pencil, pen, or brush.
XOXOXOXO Barbara
