It was SO hot that....

...my Prismacolor Artstix almost melted!

Yesterday's O's game-time temperature was a steamy 95 degrees...and my wax-based color sticks were slimy and  sweaty. They don't like direct sunlight in that kind of broiling heat. I did have my easel umbrella for the part of the day that we artists weren't in the shade, but its benefits were strictly for me and my few sitters.
Below: this couple came to me because I had drawn their friends the night before! :-)

  Grateful wasn't a strong enough word for my feelings toward AC after that afternoon!
