Drawn at Moonlight Adobe Hall in Socorro, Texas:



















Deborah and I ate at El Charlatan restaurant, and then drew next door afterwards:

We drew in the elegant Moonlight Adobe Hall:



Manuel Guerra Sr. came to drawing with us, as well as Francisco Delgado and his daughter Citlali:

The drawing session was run by Gabriel Marquez, and afterwards we visited his studio, and that of Efren Solaranzo, which were both on the same premises of the Moonlight Adobe Hall and El Charlatan restaurant in Socorro, Texas:






Socorro, Texas was founded in 1680, making it one of the oldest cities in Texas.  It is named after Socorro, New Mexico.  The city is home to one of the three missions -- Socorro Mission, Ysleta Mission, San Elizaro Mission -- close enough to each other to form the Mission Trail along the Rio Grande, just outside of El Paso.
