From Jalisco's to The Town Square to the Bakery in Two Days Plus ONE!

Tuesday At Jalisco's:  I like it when the journal pages tell their own stories...but I have to add a few words here to let you know that after I ate I went up to THE COUPLE and told them I missed seeing them at the bakery the day before...and that the guy in the lower right corner had sat in front of me there! And today he had sat in front of me at Jalisco's. Small town. Fun encounters!

I met up with this fellow in our town square when I sat a bench away from him to draw him resting his bike and himself as you see him here. BTW I saw him there again on WEDNESDAY riding his bike through the square!
 Take a good look at THE COUPLE below as I draw them often and have done since the latter part of last year! They follow me around town eating at the same places I eat! Now we all realize it and think it's great fun.
 That was on Tuesday. On Wednesday I went to the bakery and met all new people...
I had forgotten to bring my artist journal if you can believe that so I grabbed some printer paper from my office and a clip board and that is what I used to draw these last few pictures:
 I don't think it would be a good idea to try and add paint to these pages. I think the water might dissolve the paper!
The man on the right is an Oakland A's baseball fan. My cousin is married to a former A's player and hall of famer! So I am a fan too!

The guy above on the right was sitting behind the man on the left, even though here it may look like they are sitting next to each other enjoying their quiet time together.

The shoe and the pants belong to the man above on the left reading a newspaper after he went outside with his food and I could draw him through the window to my left.
I just realized that this could look like this guy is going to kick himself in the butt! Thought I'd say it before John does! LOL  It wasn't my intent at the time, but I like it now! LOL

Happy Paint Party Friday!
On Thursday I had lunch once again at Jalisco's
and these seven women sat at the table in front of mine.

Later THE COUPLE came in and I stuck them in the right hand corners upper (Mrs.)
and lower (Mr.)
When I left Mrs said Bye Lynn!
Carlos was there too today and he drew me on the back of his order tablet.
He gave me a hug when we parted and said he'd come to the Art Gallery Reception
where my three art pieces will be shown next month!
Wishing you all a lovely long weekend!

Thanks in advance for all your wonderful comments!

    1. KJ she came late to the party and perhaps she is having difficulty getting salsa out of that container.
