Better - 4

In a bit it's time to head over The New Bridge to The Phipps Center for the Arts. For no GOOD reason I have agreed to do do improv drawing sessions at our Members' Art Show Members' Showcase  for the opening. Why, oh, why...????

Well, to get "better" at it.
About eleven times a year "Scribbles by Sue" is a thing at the Croixdale assisted care center in Bayport, Minnesota. I started out reasonably frightened. Now it's old hat. No pun intended. Lots of young minds in not-young bodies there. I just try to keep up.

Tuesday's theme: Fairs

No, I did not suggest "An elephant with a cone of cotton candy." That would have never crossed my mind. But it crossed someone's mind... With the help of a lovely high-tech tablet and some lovely semi-low-tech Crayola Markers this showed up - 

Not the best elephant. But the biggest hunk of cotton candy we will ever see! And on we went - discussing our favorite Fair Foods. And finding out about some of the new specialities coming to the Minnesota State Fair. Yes, Bacon Fluffernutter is a new offering for 2017. Are you excited? We were not.

Tonight's topics? I have no idea. But the most important part of doing improv is to say "Yes." Last year at Croixdale I agreed to attempt to draw the Cassini satellite as it neared Saturn. (We have one "cruel" resident...) But Mary Jo's tablet to the rescue! Was it the most accurate depiction of either Saturn or Cassini? No. But we sure blew through time discussing, learning, and scribbling.

So, on to tonight's adventures. I've become a late-blooming class clown - and will do my best to not waste the audience's time being bland and ill-fit for the task at hand.

Hi-o, Crayolas - away!!

(You may wish me, "Break a leg" if you care to, but the left little toe did its part for real last night. So it goes. On with the show!)

And setting up at Booth 118 at Powderhorn Art Festival in Minneapolis on Friday.

Fare-thee-well,
Sue - Person with brand new box of markers - YAY!!!
