sketches

This sketch is the fifty-second in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day fifty-two: Since snow-related parking restrictions began earlier this winter, an old yellow truck has appeared frequently on my block. I suspect its owner must live on a neighboring street, but has been forced by necessity to find parking elsewhere. In heavy snow or slick conditions, the rusty pickup struggles up the hill, it’s rear wheel drive spinning like mad while the front end skids about. Today as I shoved the walks, I noticed it parked crookedly in deep ruts, piled with snow. Like its bright yellow color, it perseveres despite the conditions.
