Wandering around Phinney Farmers Market, I was in the mood
to try a sketch from an unusual perspective. Halfway up the stairway to the Phinney Neighborhood Association’s
building, I found an interesting view of a few moms and kids having dinner at
one of the picnic tables. Unfortunately, that high-up, angled perspective was a
bit too challenging for me, so I gave up (see below for the abandoned sketch).
I was about to pick up my strawberries and go home, but the
lively music coming from the center stage just below the staircase was too much
to resist. It was Pearl Django! Sponsored
by La Fete de la Musique, the free concert had the small seating area
packed. I found a small space to stand next to the garbage and recycle bins
that blocked some of the view, and the bass blocked much of the remaining view,
so I got my unusual perspective after all.

Sometimes the perspective is so unusual you just can't make it work. lol Good try though. Glad you heard the music and were inspired to stay a little longer for a sketch of the musicians.
