I set out today to use up the last few pages in my sketchbook before I skip town for a while (more on that later). I ended up in Prospect Park (big surprise). It was hot and muggy and I was glad to have picked up a giant cup of lemonade at a the Brooklyn Pride street fair. At some point it started thundering, but it took a long, long time for the rain to come. Meanwhile I drew these folks:
Once the rain started for real, I ducked from tree to tree til it stopped. Then I went to get a veggie patty with coco bread from Christie’s. While I was there, the rain started up again big time, so I plunked down on a folding chair under their awning and drew the view across the street:
The rain continued to come and go. Later on I went to see Neptune and Mission of Burma with my fellow Pirate Satelliters, and special guests Linked By Air were there, too. The show was just wonderful. I’m going back tomorrow!
It’s continued to rain off and on. Kind of nice if you manage not to get caught unawares.
