Monday’s Quarry

He had a very elegant face and head, and was engrossed in his game, and I was done reviewing my lecture notes on scattering of light, so I went for it. I was able to get out my notepad and a pen and get a good fast rendering between two stops, thinking he’d move. But he did not, so I went back over and made a few fixes until the third stop, where we all got off, and then a scribble or few more on the finishing of his collar and some of his hair and I was done…

Been very busy these last weeks, so it is good to get practice when I can get it.
