In General Hospital.

My lovely father was hospitalised last September, we took him to The General Hospital. A week before he was stay  for 12 days in a smaller hospital near my house.
He is 79 yrs old. He has problem with the blood pressure and DM (Diabetes mellitus). He stayed for a week and getting well now and has to visit the doctor regularly.

I managed to do some sketches during in the General Hospital. I also very interested with some retro wooden benches there although modern metal seats are commonly used.

I don't feel comfortable when sketched him like this.
