70th Birthday Caricatures in a picturesque marina restaurant

 Love driving to afternoon gigs in October...this was my view as I approached The Chesapeake Inn in Chesapeake City, MD, where my caricatures were to be a surprise to an unsuspecting 70th birthday gentleman!

Front view, and back view from the dining room~

Here 's the man of the day:

and here is my caricature of him and his wife (my client) who definitely succeeded in surprising him!

It was definitely my pleasure to be part of their intimate family gathering... here are a few of my caricatures!

Happy Birthday, Jon! Thank you for having me!

Skyscraper Caricatures!

 This surprise 70th birthday party was held in an intimate dining room inside the Four Seasons Hotel, at the top of one of the two Comcast towers in Center City Phiadelphia. Whoa what a view!!!!!!

The event room overlooked the Schuykill River, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the north-western part of the city. 

But I did get to walk around the other side and see that view too!

 

Somewhere behind me Taylor Swift was getting ready to perform that night at the Eagles stadium, so I actually arrived pretty early  for my own performance! 

So, here was my set-up...

And here are a few caricatures! 

The birthday girl was so surprised!

Happy b-day and thanks for having me!

A very distinguished 70th birthday party, with caricatures!

 This beautiful woman was given a very elegant surprise birthday party by her family...but they opted for my caricatures as the entertainment ;-)

I know! I can barely believe she is 70, either!

The festivities were held in a nice hotel venue...

So many wonderful faces!!!!

I was hoping there would be some food left over when I finished drawing nearly everyone, and there was. Thanks to my client, and to Gigsalad for putting us together!
