Another Train Drawing There's no story to this picture, other than I liked the look of the woman. She was engrossed in her book and wore a great jacket, with little epaulettes. She was very stylish in a quiet, unfussy way.

Bus Ride This kid was about 9 or 10 years old. He was relaxed, happy-seeming, making funny little observations to himself in the way that kids do. I thought the woman sitting next to him was his mother, but then she got off a stop before him. I realized then he'd just been happily talking [...]

Unfinished Drawings of a Woman I forget where I did these drawings, only that the subject was a particularly beautiful and elegant woman. I do remember beginning and abandoning the first one knowing I just hadn’t caught her. The second time, I did.

Paul My friend Paul fell asleep on the train. He can sleep sitting upright. I showed him this when he woke up. I don’t think he liked it much, thinking maybe that I caught him at an unflattering angle. Sorry, mate - couldn’t resist. You normally don’t sit still long enough for me to draw [...]
