Grosvenor-Strathmore

This is an ink and colored pencil drawing of the Metro train at the Grosvenor-Strathmore station.  I have nearly forty drawings of people on the Metro completed this year in a Moleskine sketchbook.  I decided to draw one of the trains because they are starting to show their age with that late 1970s industrial design aesthetic. During the work week, I spend a lot of time on these trains.  I have been riding the Metro for years!

Drawing my way through 2015

This is a house on Jefferson Blvd, and Eastern Blvd. in Hagerstown, Maryland.  The homes in this area belong to generations of hard working blue collar folks.  Not far away is a rail line that leads west and north.  This is an area that was one well serviced by passenger trains, but those days are long gone.  Still though, Hagerstown is criss-crossed by many train tracks.

I have become very fond of drawing in a wonderful Moleskine sketchbook.  This year I am filling it with drawings that relate to my rather long commute.  This is a house I pass near the end of my day.
