Its 7:00 am and I’m bump bumping along in the London double-decker with talkative school children in uniforms, sulky men in business suites staring out the window, and head-bopping mp3 zombies right out of an I-pod commercial. So many things to Draw!
Bus 36 takes me to job # 2 - an hour commute of scenery inside and out, views of the real London and the tourist hot spots from the dungeons to the palaces and parks. The bus is the way to explore. I draw for the full hour! No, that’s a lie I talk a lot too, I am the loud American on the bus. But my drawings are a natural conversation starter and people to talk to are not in short supply either. The best part of it all, I do it all again starting at 4:00, then I hang-out at the flat (home) and paint. What a life!
But Bus 36 and job #2 is only 3 days a week. Job #1 at the Bankside Health Club, with its hot flashes of busyness are the other 3 to 4 days a week. When I am done there? You guessed it - art art art. Now that I think about it my whole numbering system is off. Painting, Drawing and everything art is #1, then the gym at #2 and college at #3. That’s more like it. Now if I could just make an 8th day of the week for #1 everything would be perfect.
Glad to hear from you again and all about your London adventures. Yes, keep art foremost as best as you can. Art on the bus sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteGallery has been slow here now but picking up a bit. Deborah has been selling her vintage clothing like crazy in the gift shop.
Market building has now been evacuated and work has begun on the new renovated shops.
Best,
Cheryl
Sounds like a great adventure my friend!
