The End of Summer Drawing

No matter what age you are, summer always seems endless, until suddenly it's over. Sure, the calendar still shows a few more weeks to go before Labor Day, but I can sense the end is near. I've been getting mailings from my schools, related to the upcoming semester. The NFL preseason has begun. And tonight I realized that this was the last time that the figure drawing group will meet this summer. At least I'm going out on a relatively high note, with this 40 minute charcoal sketch being one of my better drawings of the season. The group will go on in September, but then it will be one of many things to squeeze into my busy weeks, instead of a fun activity on an otherwise relaxing day.
