Waiting Again

by Fred Lynch near Boston, Massachusetts A couple of months ago, I shared sketches of fellow patients at my doctor’s office. Here are some more. They’re quickly made – by necessity. I sit for twenty minutes each week following my allergy inoculations (a precaution, in case of an adverse reaction), and during that time, I […]
Sala de espera

Alguns esboços rápidos feitos na sala de espera do departamento de raios X do hospital local. Estava a ser examinado o meu pescoço e ombro depois de os magoar ao tentar subir a uma árvore (esses dias acabaram claramente!) para a podar. Nada demasiado sério, mas está a demorar muito tempo a sarar, desenhar e computar é [...]
Waiting Room People

Waiting for my husband in the waiting room of Rancho Bernardo Surgery in San Diego, California.
Look at my eyes
I made these drawings while waiting my turn at the ophthalmologist’s office. The 2 ladies had quite appropriate attitudes for the environment. The first one caught my eye because of the garish color of her pullover, not so usual for older people.

Foi uma experiência de abertura de olhos em mais do que uma forma: Sentei-me numa sucessão de salas de espera [...]

À espera e sentado
The more time I have, the more time I have to sketch. That unfortunately includes waiting areas, such as the one below, while I was waiting to get my brakes fixed. I also find time in hotel rooms/cabins. We stayed at a little cabin in the Texas Hill Country last month, giving me enough time […]
