2nd Shift
2nd Shift, 10:18pm, from the sketchbook, watercolor on paper 2010
From my studio window the sites and sounds act like a visual moving clock. Just 10 minutes after the Amtrak Train flies past on the tracks, the 2nd shift workers from the post office with their lunch boxes in hand walk across the snow covered parking lot to their cars and drive home for the night. The sound of the engines and site of the headlights signal to me that it is time to clean up the paints for the night and get ready for bed.
