Coming out of the "Art Work: Artists working at the MET" exhibit at Gallery 199, we emerged at Gallery 153 where the Greek Art: 6th-4th Century BC is located. Another artist occupy one end of a corner bench so I sat at the other end. Soon another fellow positioned himself in between us and pulled out an iPad and fired up his Procreate app. The first guy there got up and moved somewhere. I think he didn't like the company. I sketched the closest to my field of view.
It's the Thanksgiving Day holiday. A rainy one though... Just staying at home. Trying out some ideas to paint the view outside the balcony window. Mixed media.

We had lunch at this ramen place in Chelsea last Sunday. The place is called Jun-Men Ramen Bar. Their ramen broth is so good, I want to go back there again! Anne ordered a Chicken Ramen and sake while I chose the Pork Ramen. Of course, having a need to sketch, I included my ramen bowl on the lower right corner of the sketchbook page!
On Sunday, at the Bryant Park Holiday Market, we lined up to order a traditional Raclette sandwich. There was a long line but not a problem or me. Sketch-waiting time. We lined up to pay and waited some more before they made our sandwich. They melt the half-wheel Raclette cheese under the heating element before scraping the melted cheese and spread it onto the bread. I love stinky cheese!
She dons a beautiful red bonnet hat and a heavy, bold colored, and checkered wool coat. That was the reason I sketched her from the open gap space of the head rests in front of me. As soon as we hit the end of line, I tried to get her name, first by complementing her beautiful hat and before asking for her name - Tena. It worked!
