Did you really see them there reading ? Usually these guys are playing soccer or football :)))) but..if you saw them reading i defenitely believe you ! Lol.....
Barbara Chase replied:
Truly I did, Michel!😊 Three men walked into an underground Starbuck's in old town Annapolos, Maryland. (Sounds like a prelude to a joke but it's a fact). They settled directly in my line of vision; two in leather club chairs and one in the deep window bay with his back against the old stone wall. (There's a Naval Academy a short walk from this Starbuck's which helps to explain their buff appearance). In prohibition days this particular Starbuck's was an old "speakeasy." Musicians and imbibers alike gathered clandestinely to drink and to party. There's even an underground tunnel that leads directly to the government State House)...😉 But I digress. When I sketched the men I did take the liberty of changing their hair color -- so as to maintain their anonymity! lol

Congratulations your creative and unique art work is featured in the "Out Of The Ordinary" group! Barbara, I was named after the Lyric Opera my aunt was an opera singer! :)
Barbara Chase replied:
Thank you, Lyric! And thank you also for the interesting background on your name. A good name should always be "music to the ears." 😊
Lyric Lucas
Congratulations your creative art is featured in the MINIMALISM 1a day group!
Barbara Chase replied:
Thank you, Lyric! (The name "Lyric" conjurs a picture a very musically-talented young couple anticipating the arrival of a equally-musically-talented baby.....)?
