Lunchtime #drawing: Louise Bourgeois’ home and studio was at 347 West 20th Street, now papered with building permits.

Hazy morning #drawing: The Hoboken Terminal across the Hudson River at low tide, a favorite to include in this project throughout the seasons, along with the Central Park reservoir.
