| The Throwdown |
The efforts to launch kites were slow at first, but by midday, the sky was full of colorful kites and the ground was full of watchful parents and enthusiastic children racing around and enjoying the day. Robert's sketch was made during the early efforts. He explains my presence in the bottom right corner saying, "Chris appeared in my very first urban sketch." His spare line and minimal color capture the scene perfectly.

Susan's sketch contrasts the colorful kites against the brooding gray sky.

Fahmi wanted to collect a little bit of everything going on. She sketched the kites, the crowds, the booths, the entertainment, and the spectators.

Bruce was interested in the collections of onlookers.

Judith walked around to the back of the event area to include a wide sweep of the whole scene and a large tree that caught her eye.

As always, we gathered at the end for the throwdown and a group picture. It was nice to be with our group again. And it was especially nice to have new participants.

Look for urban sketchers out and about more often as we look for new, interesting, and safe places to do group sketching and show off our Houston area.
