I often take photos of people who look directly at me……..”is that guy taking my photo” ?
YES !!!
Has anyone ever socked me in the eye?? Not yet !!!
The cutest artist ever…….. stopped me today in Washington Square Park………..and asked me if she could draw my portrait.
YES said I !
I LOVE her antler………..but I didn’t ask why she chose it.
It’s called a “BLIND PORTRAIT”………..drawing the subject without looking at the paper. JUST DRAW.
I took the same class years ago at The School of Visual Arts…….the instructor was Jack Potter [recently deceased].
These two are art students at NYU.

Sundays in Central Park are always a delight……..New Yorkers and tourists……….all “doing their thing”…..or trying to “out do” one another. Sunning……boating……..running……..bicycling…………reading……eating…………walking the dog………..and slumming.
IT IS ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT ONE COULD POSSIBLY ASK FOR.
Tonight on the great lawn is Movie Time! HORROR! THE SHINING. Thousands will gather for a picnic………wine and fine dine for some. Others will just bring buckets of popcorn. It is a warm night…..the stars will be out…….and New Yorkers will get free entertainment. How great is that!
