September 8, 2023 -- Portrait

The portrait session on Friday nights is free, but the artists had to give their drawings to the sitter. This session was at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:

I've done three previous portrait drawing groups:

• August 25, 2023 -- Portrait
• June 9, 2023 -- Portrait

On September 8th, New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham banned open and concealed carry of firearms in Bernalillo County for 30 days, which many say is against the 2nd amendment, and was met by a large reaction.

On my short drive home from the portrait drawing session that night, I saw many cars pulled over by police in Albuquerque,  which I thought was very unusual at the time.
