Summer People

Some very quick sketches made at the newly reopened Echo Park-- people out enjoying summer.  These were made on several days with record heat.  Too much for some to just look at that beautiful water, they just had to wade in!

Here I'm focusing on people as part of an urban landscape, but sometimes their individual stories just ask for attention...








It is so wonderful to see the lotuses returning...and the popsicle sellers making the rounds of the park with cart bells tinkling...




...and the magic of seeing a Quinceanera party across the lake...the Quinceanera herself in a lovely turquoise gown, and her damas, chambelanes and photographer surrounding her...
