Caricatures by Edmonton artist Lauel: Strathearn Art Walk

It was the first time I joined in with other artists at the Strathearn Art Walk. The Strathearn community is really nice with the event held in a big green space overlooking the river valley and Edmonton's downtown skyline. There were a lot of artists and a wide variety of art for people to enjoy viewing the artist's creations. There was a beer garden, kid's crafts, food and music. I saw artists I knew and met a few more. It's hard when you have your own tent set up, to be able to get away to look around. After all, if I wasn't in my tent I couldn't do any caricatures. I also displayed some of my paintings. I haven't had much free time to paint lately which kind of frustrates me ... I'd really love more hours in the day! I look forward to next year's Strathearn Art Walk. 

Here are some of the people I drew ....

Caricatures at Intuit's 2012 Kid's Christmas Party

I enjoyed seeing families having such a wonderful time at the INTUIT Kid's Christmas Party again this year. I believe it was my fourth year drawing at it. The sweet mom in the photo with her two kids and husband said, "Oh that makes me happy looking at it." made my night!  And then there was Nicole who worked all night keeping the lineups for caricatures organised and running smoothly. I had to draw her before I left. So unfair for her not to have the opportunity to get one done. She really liked that I got her pregnant tummy in the drawing! How could I NOT make sure I got that in?!

Caricatures for the Autism Society of Edmonton and Area

Edmonton's Autism Society had me out to their "Deck The Halls" celebration this evening. I had a great time drawing this guy! My favourite part of it is his smile!

Man with his caricature - love that smile!

Caricatures for a Friend's Party

my Friend and Son with their Caricature

My friend recently asked me to do caricatures at her dad's 70th birthday

party. All the guests seemed quite surprised hat they'd be getting a

caricature as a take home gift! When I drew my friend and was about to

see her caricature she said, "Oh I'm so excited! I've waited years to

get one of your caricatures! That's part of the reason I suggested to my

mom that we have you here!" I took that as quite a compliment. And it's

always nice to draw the whole family so they have a complete collection.

At the end of the party, when I say, "Thanks for having me." ... I

really mean it!
