Some drawings from my sketchbook depicting Lakewood, Ohio


The first page in my sketchbook.  As you turn the corner from my street onto Detroit Ave., Lakewood's "Main Street", this is the first building you see. They sell Hemingwayesque furniture to evoke times on safari or in Key West.  Masculine and artfully relaxed is the vibe of this place.  They have NYC style windows at Christmastime with toys that move and tributes to the past windows of downtown Cleveland department stores that have since gone out of buiness.  This drawing was done from life.
