I sometimes go with my wife to the Seminole Hardrock in Tampa. Yes, it is a casino operated by the Seminole indian tribe, but that's not really me point. She goes off to do her thing, and I, being a miserable gambler (I might as well hand my money to the nearest Seminole...) find that it is a great setting for drawing. The entire room is very open to viewing and the people have such variety, and they are concentrating on the lights and sounds, and the operation of the machine in front of them to be concerned with the observer me. Pretty cool. It's a target rich environment for the people watching artist!
Thank you time & space. Thank you materials, thank you subjects. Thank you frustration. I never have enough time, the angle is never right... I'm never in the right position. I return to the immediacy of this exercise always...
