The Tuesday Night drawing group of Santa Fe drew both in person and on Zoom at the new Argos Gallery/Studio location.  They arranged a hybrid real/virtual drawing session because we are still coming out of Covid.  Online people drew from Albuquerque, New Orleans, and I drew from El Paso.

This was the first live in-person drawing session since the Covid 19 lockdown started in March, 2020:

Also note that the governor lifted the mask mandate the previous Thursday.
