Yesterday, I had a gig at Classic Hyatt Residence, a fairly upscale assisted living facility in Yonkers. Doing caricatures of elderly people can go one way or another, as they tend to not be all that excited about their looks. This group, however, was extremely enthusiastic about participating, and they all lined up with their canes and walkers. I was smitten by them, and at the end of the gig, several of them came up to me and said thank you. It is a fortunate thing to gain insight into the variety of ways that one can age. Some people get a vacant look and their eyes glaze over. Others take a renewed interest in color and friends, and find every excuse to laugh at themselves. The attached is a caricature that i reworked from the senior gig. I am trying to learn how to color using photoshop.
