It's funny, although there are four of us painting, and the way we work it is that there's only one line and each artist with an empty seat just calls for the next person in line, each of us tends to end up with our own popular faces for the event. I heard the artist nearest me painting kitty after kitty, while I didn't have one single kitty request. My big thing last night was dragons. I painted a slew of dragons and had some fun with them. I love asking kids - or adults, for that matter - "What color are dragons where you come from?" The most common breeds of dragons seem to be green, red, and blue.
I did get one very specific request for this dragon, but with teeth, which I guess from looking at the internet now (I haven't seen the movie yet and really should), he develops as he gets older; mom called up the image on her phone. Not sure I captured it, but it was on the fly, so I don't think I did a terrible job.
Of course, even with all the dragons, I couldn't have a gig without butterflies. There are always butterflies. But I decided to have some fun with them.
There are also almost always tigers, so I decided to have some fun with those too.
Not everyone chose pretty. There were a couple of fierce T-Rexes too.
The coolest request, though, was my last of the night - an owl. I think I've only painted a full face owl once before, and I know for a fact this one was better. She loved it!
