Jalisco's In Living Color

I actually did the third black and white drawing (below) first yesterday at Jalisco's and thought

that was enough; but then this woman came in with her huge flaming red/purple hair

and I JUST HAD TO DRAW HER!!!!

 They sat in the table just in front of mine...Oh so close and her facing me; but I did it...and no idea if she knew what I was doing or not...the top picture looks more like her ... this second one I drew her friend first and then quickly added her in as an after thought or when I got brave enough to do it with her sometimes starring my way.

 The couple on the right in this drawing (below)  are regulars and I draw them a lot. The little woman in the foreground is new to me. She had on a long full skirt, was very short...I like how I captured her. The four guys could be any four guys at a table there. It's such a popular lunch spot for local working folks.

I got there a little after noon. Got my now favorite table in the back facing the windows and watched the place quickly fill up every single table. By the time I was ready to go there was only one other woman left picking up food to go...all the tables were empty and cleared off. Carlos, who was working said, "Yes, that's how it goes. That was the first wave."
BTW Carlos greeted me with a hug, which absolutely positively made my day!!!!

My friend Lisa had her 4 hr surgery yesterday. I spoke with her on the phone after and she sounded strong and well. She joins me in thanking you all for your good wishes for her recovery.
