Street at Dusk

Street at Dusk, originally uploaded by beach pixie.

I sit in the car on this rather featureless street every week while waiting for my son to finish his piano lesson. I was sketching in the cold at dusk as it was getting darker on Friday and the tall hedges, concealed driveways and looming trees started to take on a feeeling of a kind of menace. The arrival around the corner of the man walking his little dog brought it back to a kind of normalcy. The streetlight lit up the tops of the hedges giving them an orange glow. I was drawing for about 20 minutes and by the time I finished it was almost dark and I could hardly see the page.
