Dear reader,
I am back at home, at my desk, awake in the dark. It is what is known as an ungodly hour. Physically I am jetlagged, but mentally I am re-energized. It was a good vacation.
The SneakyArt Post presents secretly drawn art of the world, thoughts around being a self-taught artist, and the best ideas from the SneakyArt Podcast.
Today’s post is a SneakyArt Drop. There are few words but many lines.
a public square is –
paths crisscrossing,
worlds colliding,
lives coexisting.each inside their own
universe.
each one,
a story.

At Leidseplein, watching a train emerge from the space between two buildings, I decided to take on Dutch architecture head-on. Straight to ink. Left to right.
at the end of a long day,
at the end of a second drink,
under a full moon, twinkling,
I find a moment of beauty.

Hi Nishant,
I thought about you and your sage advice to stop and see on my road trip last weekend to New Mexico for a hi school reunion. I don't sketch, but I photograph and listen for music that draws the mind pictures for my readers.
You do inspire others, just so you know.
