Description
Working from life can be challenging. You have to deal with the elements. I was visiting my friend Brandon on the nearby Indian reservation. After consuming a moderate amount of alcohol I went outside to get a sketchpad out of my truck. On the way back I stopped and started sketching his home. It was extremely cold and a very dark and moonless night, and I was drunk. I stood there drawing as fast as I could. Then I realized that I also had to pee. I drew even faster. A few days later I painted it from memory but wasn't satisfied. I needed to see the scene again. The next time I showed up at Brandon's I got a good view of the scene and I went inside to finish it up. I broke out my watercolor set. Brandon was out of water so I used beer instead and I finished it up. Can't help but wonder if it is now a scratch and sniff painting.
