Tentative toes.


I sketched this gentleman's feet one long morning in
the opthalmologist's waiting room. He was, I think,
aware that I was doing this, but as he said nothing,
I continued. I think he was embarrassed and unsure
about what he could do in this situation, because
I feel I've captured that awkward uncertainty
that went all the way down to his toes!

How lovely! My husband likes to write character sketches in situations like that. He can make up whole stories just by observing someone (or a few people) for a few minutes.
