5th holiday gig of 2024---a Gala Fundraiser with CARICATURES

For my second event of the evening, it was back to the Hotel DuPont for another "The Grand Gala"...

This is actually the afterparty, so everyone is in a delightful mood!

Reel 1: Ambiance      Reel 2. Sketching!

Wonderful evening as usual, thank you for having me!

Gala Rotary fundraiser caricatures for STEM education

 My second gig on Saturday was at a lovely country club, luckily not too far from my first event. This was for a gala Rotarian fundraiser that I also did last year, and was honored to be asked back... to draw many new faces this time. (Along with a few who had wanted a drawing last year, but the line was too long!)

This gentleman and I compared notes on traveling to, and seeing totality of the recent solar eclipse. So of course, I had to draw it in his caricature!

Thank you once again for having me, Rotarians!

Gala Fundraiser Caricatures in the Crystal Tea Room

 I hadn't been in this building since I was a child in the 1970's.....when my class went to see the Christmas display here after visiting the Franklin Institute. 

And I had never been to its flagship restaurant on the 9th floor...til Thursday, when I arrived to draw caricatures at a 1000-guest gala fundraiser event. The law firm of Zarwin Baum was raising funds for Philabundance at a huge March Madness cocktail party, and it was so much fun!

Spot the artist!!

They certainly had my favorite Philly vice for sustenance!!

Thank you for having me!

Grand Gala 2023 caricatures!

After leaving my first gig of the evening, I drove to my next, and actually used the valet parking because I had only had an hour!! Made it!

Once again, my skills were in demand at Wilmington, Delaware's Grand Gala...this year, it was held at the venerable DuPont hotel. They situated me on the landing between its two ornate ballrooms.

And I was busy from the moment it opened! Here they come!

What a fab evening!! And I wore my new antique hat.
