I like this now, and working on the behind the scenes

I showed this Acrylic ink drawing on canvas in the Drawing from
Life show last year.  At the time I was not happy with it compared
to the sketchbook drawing that inspired it.  I like it now. 

The man is wearing a trench coat, because last year at this point
in the winter we had had mostly rain.  This year in January alone
we've had 88 centimetres of snow.  And that's a lot.

Behind the scenes in art for me? -- preparing canvasses with two
layers of gesso, searching through my references for inspiration,
organizing an art show. All good.

Anyway Toronto Man -- thank you for being an inspiration.

Have a loving your life day.
