| I was sitting near this entrance to do my sketch. Valuable lesson learned. Everyone that came in either took my photo, or stopped to talk. I met the plumber that wanted to retire and spend the rest of his life as a photographer. Then Heika, a delightful 6 year old came to talk. She told me how lizards can camouflage with the plants. (I was impressed with that). A French speaking woman complimented my painting and took a photo. The best incident was the two Chinese ladies that came over. They were nodding, smiling, pointing at my painting, and talking to me in Chinese! For all I know, they could have been telling me this looked like s*^#%. They also took photos. There were others as well. I tried to send them over to annoy Joan, but somehow they wanted to bother me. So next time I go sketching I need to sit near the exit! |

It was a great spot for sketching on Saturday. Thanks for thinking of it! Love your bromeliad and lobster claws. I think you wear the same sign my mom used to wear that says "Willing to Talk to People." I don't make eye contact and it seems to work. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story and pictures, Susan. You make it easy to speak to you~
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! Next time it is blinders and duct tape!
ReplyDeletevery amusing hearing about the passerbys, particularly the chinese entourage. love the colors on your bromeliads. love that i now know what a bromeliad is, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and comment Shawne! Truth be told, I will remember all of these conversations everytime I look at this sketch. I just found it so amusing that they were talking to me in Chinese like I understood them, then again, art is a universal language.
