World Wide Sketchcrawl number 43!

Today was World Wide Sketchcrawl number 43!
More than 50 interested artists asked to be on on my reminder list for this, the 43rd WW Sketchcrawl. Some managed to go to two events in this big spring weekend. Jennifer, Mary S L and Maria went to the Florida Wildlife Festival, so we're anticipating images from that (They saw a puppet parade and a real wild alligator).-- Most of the Tallahassee/Leon  County & Wakulla County Sketchcrawlers chose to meet at the Downtown Chain of Parks Art Festival, hosted by LeMoyne Center for the Arts.  So far I know that John Billingsley, Jennifer Clinard, David Gauldin, Mary Sterner Lawson, Robert Lide, Roger Messimer, Bill Otersen, and Dorothy Stearn were downtown; Also Maria Balingit at Wakulla; I heard Mary Liz Tippin-Moody was drawing too!
 Despite some on and off rain, we had a great time and lots of fun sketching. The Enthusiasm Award goes to Bill for sketching us even as Robert prepared to make a group photograph of us, and to Mary S L and Jennifer for sketching 2 different events in one day.
 I look forward to your postings!
Mark                 Thanks, Robert, for photo-documenting the day.
 Here are a couple of my sketches just to get things started: (I'll add more as they come in)
