Wouldn’t you know it.
Most of the musicians I’ve sketched at farmers markets have
been dressed in dark, muted tones. This afternoon at Phinney Farmers Market,
vocalist Alix Moren wore a brightly colored, floral-print dress that would have
been fun to paint – if I’d had my paints! After yesterday’s dry run of my travel bag, I left all my watercolors and markers in that bag, knowing that
I’d be doing my final packing today. So all I had with me today was black fountain
pen ink and the waterbrush filled with Diamine Grey that I had taken out of the
travel bag. Despite the monochrome sketch, Alix and guitarist Matt Williams
performed a colorful rendition of some of my favorite ‘70s tunes, like Roberta
Flack’s “Killing Me Softly.”
Strawberry season is almost over, so I picked up one last
cup from Hayton Farms for tomorrow’s breakfast before we leave town. By
the time we get back, the peaches may be in. As excited as I am to travel, I
almost hate leaving Seattle at its very best time of year.
Nice sketch even if you couldn't add color! You must be getting so excited about the trip.
