watercolour, copic multiliner, painted this afternoon, on the corner of E and 5th street (such imaginative street names they have here in america), davis, having just had a milkshake, having just seen a stupid last-minute sunderland goal. I sat beside the fire station. Three engines rolled out, sirens blaring, and then another one came from dixon, and in the distance - somewhere beyond those trees in the picture - I saw a great big plume of smoke suddenly rise up. I couldn't paint it, because I'd already done the blue sky. The engines came back, and the smoke soon vanished. I don't know what it was that burnt down, and I hope nobody was hurt, but all this happened while I sat and drew a house on a street corner in davis on a saturday afternoon.
