SOLO TRAIN RIDE 14" X 18 " c virginia huber, 2004. | |
Some people can sleep anywhere. I sketched this elderly woman on my final train ride in Japan as I was sitting before her. We were behind schedule and both Machiko and I were feeling stressed about this. But here was this woman, peacefully asleep on the train. I became aware of my own stress level in contrast to the elderly woman's peacefulness. Sketching is for me a comfort and a means to slow myself down. Machiko Kitayama watched me sketch and it appeared to calm her also. Sketching is calming, watching someone sketch is calming, and of course so is sleep! | |
