Garage Sale

I helped a friend with a garage sale and sketched the driveway from my perch inside the garage. I had just held a sale of $1 figure drawing sketches to help with moving expenses. This scene reminded me that my life had been stripped to the bone. I had a chair and the clothes on my back. I ended up buying a table which I now use to mat and frame artwork. People came in waves throughout the day although the biggest crowd was in the morning. There was something for everyone including a three cornered hat should you want to be a pirate for Halloween.

Three buildings were torn down for new condo development in my old neighborhood just south of Lake Eola. I suspect my old apartment building will succumb soon enough to this rapid development. I liked the place precisely because it reminded me of an old New York apartment building. On the edge of the city and suburbs anything could pop up next.
