2ND AVENUE EAST 6TH STREET

 11 1/2" x 8 1/2"  ink and brush in Canson Sketchbook

Since I seem to be using a lot of ink this October I thought I'd touch up and finish this unfinished piece.  How do I know when a piece is finished? It stops being a pain in the butt.

THE CATCH

11 1/2" x 8 1/2" Faber-Castel brush pens in Moleskine sketchbook
It's that time again in baseball. Great plays seem to manifest during autumn. I only know about this catch made by Willie Mays from the video, but what a play!
"In the eighth inning of Game 1, with the score tied 2-2 and two runners on base, Indians first baseman Vic Wertz hit a fly ball 440 feet deep into center field. Mays turned, ran and then caught the ball over his shoulder with his back to the infield, before spinning and firing the ball back into the infield to keep the runners from advancing. The catch preserved the tie, and the Giants won the game on a home run by Dusty Rhodes in the 10th inning. When he was asked later about the catch, Mays famously replied, “I don’t rank ‘em, I just catch ‘em.” The Giants went on to sweep the 1954 World Series." - from the History channel

RED HAIR

18" x 24" Oil on canvas
“Her heavy peasant face was fringed by a bang of red hair like a woolen table-spread, a color at once strange and attractive, an obstinate color, a color that seemed to make Lena feel something alien and bad-tempered had settled over her forehead...”
― Djuna Barnes
