Thread: Observing for the benefit of Art... ((Attn: Anyone 7/29/09))

Christian sat on the steps of the art building watching the pedestrians walk by as he began sketching with his charcoal idly. He was wearing a t-shirt, jeans, slip-ons and his glasses. He was trying to his hardest to blend in with the local college crowd. His hair was done spiker than normal and a small smile came to his face as he continued to sketch the passing faces. He was so thrilled he would be able to scan them and email them to Colette. He looked up as he saw the approaching pedestrians and continued to immortalize the ones who caught his eye on paper. His fingers moved with grace and beauty as the charcoal covered most of the fingertips on his left hand. He lit a cigarette and took a drag putting some finishing touches on a young anglo-saxon co-ed who he knew was sure to make his wife smile. He stopped focusing on those walking and instead decided to focus on putting more detail into the young man he had just sketched. He smiled at the thought of his wife's face when she saw his new sketches.

He had just attended a production at the University Theatre. What a wonderful production it was too. They had performed Macbeth and had played the play to its utmost. The woman that played Lady Macbeth was so evil, yet so compelling… a truly difficult task. Sebastian smiled at the thought that young students could portray something so rich so well. There was something beautiful in the grit of it all. And it was truly beautiful. Sebastian clutched the playbill in which he had scribbled some notes and some contact information of the director. Up ahead he saw that there were still people in the art building. “Nothing like good art after a play,” he thought. He headed toward the building; noticing the man on the steps drawing he paused to get a look at the exquisite charcoal images on the sheet.
