Day 161 "High Street" 9 x 6 pen & ink

Once again, I love the contrast of old and new buildings in Boston.  High Street has beautiful old buildings with intricate details on the corner, with tall, slick, skyscrapers behind them. I love the streets, love the detail, love exploring the contours with my pen.
This is my hundred sixty-first daily drawing.  Thank you for looking.  

"Donuts on High" mixed 9 x 6 #dailydrawing #uskboston

Anyone who grew up in my hometown of Canton, MA, and of a certain age, will remember Charlie's Donuts.  I can still remember the taste and texture of their warm honey dipped donuts.  The only donut that I think even comes close, is Kane's.  They are situated on High Street in Boston.  It's a very-once-in-a-while treat if I take the boat or train into Boston.  Last spring, my friend Marianne and I spent a day during our April break painting in Boston.  We stopped at Kane's on our way across town, and enjoyed our donuts as we took a break in the Public Garden while painting.  I'm a bit of a purist, and don't explore the huge variety of donuts, just a twice-a-year honey dipped.  Yum. 
This is my forty-sixth daily drawing.  Thank you for taking the time to look at my work.  

"Stopping on HIgh Street" 9 x 12 mixed #dailydrawing

Once in a while, I pick my husband up from work on High Street in Boston.  It's  a pretty straight shot up the expressway, and a surprisingly reasonable ride in the afternoon, going against the mass exodus of homeward-bound drivers.  Just as I turn onto High Street, this is my view.  I enjoy the shadowed buildings against the sky, with some late sunlight sneaking behind the buildings.  
I drew the scene with fine point indelible marker, then added warm gray to all the shadow areas, which is the dominant shape in this scene.  I used colored pencil, black to emphasize the shadow, and a little red and orange in the stop lights.  
This is my thirty-fifth daily drawing... thank you for looking.
