Whether it is finding a cool spot from the midday heat, quiet from the chaotic noise of the city, or just a short break from a busy day, we all need a moment to sit in peaceful solitude on The Steps.
I do not often realize exactly what motivates me to draw what I do. Yes, I have an idea or a concept for the picture before I begin. But I have a lot of ideas. What makes me choose a particular one to do at that particular time? The answer often comes to me after I finish the piece. I recently experienced what seemed to be a stressful run of bad luck. I think my desire to escape, to find a quiet place inspired this drawing.
