Back in the Saddle

 My first gig since the covid-19 shutdown last February was this week in mid-town put on by the Westchase District farmer's market. Although It wasn't a very busy event it was good to be back at work. Since I've spent the last six months doing nothing but practicing I was pretty much pleased with the quality of my drawings, I had many compliments and even a homeless man, complete with his cardboard sign wandered over and liked what I was doing.  It was hot as is typical for August in Houston and the only real challenge I had was drawing while dripping with sweat, particularly off the end of my nose. The only other stressful moment was when a patron wanted her Pomeranian to be included and I'm not adept at drawing dog caricatures but she was happy with it. It prompts me to practice drawing pets because there is quite a market for them,  Here's to this event being a catalyst for the next six months to be busier than the previous.
