Three quick sketches from the park bench by the farmers market.   I love people watching and there really isn’t a better place than the St Paul Farmers Market.  Despite all of the construction in Lowertown, people venture out to fill up their canvas bags with greens, sample the local honey & grab a coffee from Golden’s Deli.  In the hour or so I sat this morning I saw many friends and strangers, including many local celebrities and artists.
