Frida Friday - Leesburg Art League

Today was Open Friday where artists meet up at the center to work on various things from arts and crafts to painting, to sketching, etc.  Sometimes there will be someone modeling and other times demos shared.

Our Open Friday today was called "Frida Friday" which was themed around a Mexican Artist by the name of Frida Kahlo.  It's also Cinco de Mayo which is a Mexican Holiday.

One of the ladies at the Art Center actually dressed up as Frida Kahlo and modeled for us (which I may still do from a photo I took of her).  I chose to sketch some of the other ladies as they went about creating fans, headbands, and other works of art.
