Artist Found Out!

On Tuesday this week I had my very first "outing" as an artist on site!
The woman whose back was to me in this top picture's name is Christine.
After Christine and her mom finished eating their lunch and were getting ready to leave Jalisco's
she stopped at my table. I was sitting just behind where she had been sitting.
She said: "Are you drawing?"
I said yes, and showed her what I was working on at that moment.
Then I flipped back one page and showed her this.
She said: "Did you draw me and my mom?"
"Oh, I love it!!!
I went on to tell her I was planning to make up a book of my Jalisco's drawings.
She said: "I'll buy it! And I'll come here so you can autograph it for me!
She was all smiles
and hey, so was I!


No one from this group seemed aware that I was drawing them.

But Carlos, the owners son came by and asked if Christine had seen me drawing her and her mom. I relayed the story to him. And told him my ideas for the book. He said: "I'll buy a copy too, and we will sell them here!

You can kind of imagine that THAT JUST MADE MY DAY!

Thanks Carlos!!!!

  2. I had wondered if anyone had ever approached you about this, what a great idea, wuour work is so good, I'm not surprised at all, if you think about it wouldn't it be cool to have a book with a painting of your family eating lunch or what ever, and then to have the artist sign it, well tahts just great.The next one will be the church book!

  3. How validating! ♥ I really love painting or working on something creative out in public. People will stop and talk to me all the time. It must be the energy of creation, the joy of color.. there is something special that draws people in and says.. this person creating here, this person with the pen in their hand, they are approachable. :)
