A friend of mine stopped over. Rose Leon is such a calm, sweet, and positive person. Hopefully you get a bit of a sense of that from the drawing. It was a quick thing done on the iPad.

The UNM Taos library has had some great people to work with. Santana is one of them. I felt I needed to push something out before bed. I had a photo of Santana and put it up on my computer screen to sketch. This is just another iPad squiggle fest.
