The Crown Family Picnic is an annual event and I’ve been drawing caricatures
there for the past seven years. There are always six caricaturists with each artist developing a “following,” meaning a group of fans who come back year after year to be drawn. People collect the drawings and, I’m told, frame them at home in a rec room or family room. I have my own following. I greet everyone by name and remember how I’ve drawn them in the past so that I can come up with something new this year. My photo record is spotty –must be more thorough next year—so that I don’t have everyone to show off here. But one of my all-time favorites is a couple I see every year there and with whom I exchange news about how life has been treating us. Here is how I’ve
drawn this darling couple for the past five years. I present to you, two people who inspire me, Carla and Peter!
