This was in River Oaks at the grand opening of Parker Joes, a children's clothing store. We were in the shadow of high rise luxury apartments and next door to us was a fine dining restaurant. It's not unusual for me to be invited to draw at River Oaks communities but I always find pleasure in going every time.
I do have one question, though. Notice the plant by the front door of the restaurant on the right. If a five star eating establishment serves such expensive meals, I would think they could keep there plants from dying.

"Super fun", said Ruth at Johanson and Fairless law firm. A rare midweek gig in honor of Professional Administrative Assistance Appreciation Day, otherwise known as Secretary Appreciation Day. The entire office of secretaries, paralegals, clerks, receptionists and all around office people, were lampooned. The Pin Oak Charity Horse Show was the event and The Great Southwest Equestrian Center was the venue. Aside from having to watch my steps to avoid stepping in mounds of horse poop, it was a thrill.
Recently I was invited to draw at the American Heart Association's 100th anniversary gala and at $300 a plate, it was no cheap affair. The theme was 20's night and I drew in the speakeasy part of the Northgate Country club. Ironically, one of the patrons innocently pointed out a characteristic of my drawings which I didn't notice until she told me. Personally I think it's a bad habit of mine and in order to advance in my artistic skills, I should modify this particular inclination. I won't say what it is because I'm not in the habit of pointing out my bad habits to everyone. The point is, helpful comments from non-artists about my work can sometimes help me.
