Sunday afternoon, musicians and audience collect at the pavilion
A white back drop, some speakers and a couple of microphones set the stage in the shade of the pavilion. People bring chairs, dogs, and their knitting. Musicians show up with guitars, banjos, a Ukeleli, harmonicas, a saxophone. Folks take turns playing, other musicians provide accompaniment. Lots of old favorites and a few that people have written themselves. I wish I knew more tunes so i could play along on my harmonica or recorder.
Instead, I enjoy the music and sketch.

I wish I could sketch like that!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I enjoy it a lot. Of course, I only post the ones where I caught a likeness! Many more are barely recognizable as people.
DeleteWow! sketching, harmonica and recorder? What talent you have!! Love your sketches.
ReplyDeleteWell, I really can only play one tune on harmonica, and maybe a dozen on recorder. I'm just now learning to read music a little.
DeleteThe sketching I've done since I was a little kid - I love sketching people.
Anne, we went to an awesome music jam Saturday night. I did not even think to take my camera. If only I could sketch the musicians, girlfriends, wives, children and capture the magic of the moment like you!
ReplyDeleteIt only takes some paper and a pencil to get started . . . actually the hardest part is sketching while people can watch - 'cause about half the sketches don't turn out (kind of like practicing music; there are a lot of sour notes before you get it right).
DeleteI wish I liked doing landscape more -here I am in a beautiful place and not motivated to paint it. I'm going to try doing some small sketches of cactus or something.
