Drawing Ugly

I wrote in my journal here that I thought this was kind of sad. I stopped by a cafe in Rockland before a meeting this morning to have a coffee and a bagel and had some extra time so I sketched the scene out the window. It's about as ugly as a building can get so I wondered how could I ever really make it look nice or interesting. It's not my favorite sketch and it was kind of quick but it reminded me that it doesn't take a nice building or scene to make a good drawing.
