The Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale hosted a Ladies Invitational yesterday. Tee-off was at noon. As the members and 
their guests came in between ten and noon, they socialized, snacked and, ta-tah, sat for a caricature. They were a fun bunch, relaxed and to a tee, in good humor. Such an ambiance makes for good caricatures. The marker just flows.
When I had a foursome, I looked at everyone, decided on the sequence in which I would draw them and then everyone took turns sitting in front of me. Goes very fast, about a minute for the face. Then I tucked the line drawing away and finished the drawing with bodies and color later. The ladies liked that. You know how athletes are, they don’t like to sit still very long.
After four hours on the links, they came back to the locker room to freshen up a bit (it was a hot and humid afternoon) and relax over hors d’oeuvres and chardonnays. This was another opportunity to get your caricature drawn.
I thoroughly enjoyed this day. What a congenial group they were! Lot’s of easy-going humor.
The tongue? I didn’t have to make that up!
Thank you, Jan.
