I forgot my water container when I packed my sketching supplies for a trip to shop and paint at the Kensington Farmers market. I dug through my backpack for something to use and found a little plastic earplug case that held about a tablespoon of water and I used that, with water from my water bottle.
Then I stood in the hot sun on the corner, using a newspaper rack for my table, and sipping an iced coffee while a man played guitar and sang nearby. He sounded very much like my favorite singer-songwriter, Richard Shindell

Sounds like a perfect day! Hard to imagine standing in the hot sun sipping iced coffee for us Northwesterners experiencing gray skies, though.

We’re having a last blast of Indian summer I guess. There was a week of grey rainy weather and I thought summer was over, but it kicked back in and it’s been really hot the past couple weeks. I’m enjoying it while it lasts! Jana

We artists are always so adaptable and creative. That is one of my favorite songs as well but I only have one version. Very nice painting!

Thanks! One version is enough, I’m sure. Which one do you have? Jana

A fabulous, lively sketch. You paint an evocative picture with words too, so all the more enjoyable for that. x

Lovely refreshing paintings of the joy of life and landscape. Earthquakes though – wow! And a reference to the Allelulia song. I play that a lot on the piano. Strange kind of words in some of the verses though.
