Houses, trees, holligans, black, red and blue


I bought 2 new pentel brushes, so I drew these buildings on the train from Aachen to Brussels to try them out.

While waiting for my mother to be readied for bed at her nursing home, I started to draw those trees. I finished them while talking to her when she was in bed...

On the train back from Brussels, some young hooligans were trying to tempt me into a fight.

I'm loving your art here! It's wonderful to see it all. I'll be having a look daily.

So did you fight them? These look great...lots of energy.

I finally faced them for a few minutes before getting off that train, sporting the best fightlusting, half-grinning expression I could mimic. That old trick worked me quite safely through their mob. I'm still not sure if they actually were out for a real fight or if they were just teasing a bit hard.

That would scare the crap out of me.

It can be scary, but those looked actually too clean to be really scary. The really mean ones look like mad, belliquous dogs.
