Snapped this photo of an artist at work on the bank of the Meuse River in Dinant, Belgium on Saturday.

I love seeing the scenery and the artist’s perspective. And the curious crowd that gathers behind them. I imagine some day seating myself in front of a piece by one the great masters. A sketch book and an elaborate spread of materials before me. Then reproducing that masterwork in stick figures. And I would need mirrors. Mirrors to see the sideways glances and involuntary cringes of onlookers.
