"Botanical Study"

5 x 7"

You probably know by now, I can't walk by a person on a bench without thinking of painting them. When I was a teenager, I spent hours sketching people on the train, the Amtrak lounge in Union Station - pretty much everywhere I'd go. I couldn't get enough. Good practice, I just didn't know it at the time.

From the National Botanical Gardens in Washington DC.

    There is something so very calming and peaceful about this one, Karin. I think it partly has to do with the greenery of the leaves, but also simply the green cast to the wall behind this woman. I really love this piece.

    What do you do when these people catch you staring at them? I've always found that a bit awkward.

    I don't stare at anybody.
