Although I stood in the queue for one hour, I only accomplished one little sketch and colored it at home afterwards. Nice chat with the people behind me and warm coffee kept my spirits up in spite of the cold weather. I am grateful for the city of Essen for bringing the vaccination teams to different parts of town.
It seems that the river will remain a painting theme for me for quite a while, changing its colors with the seasons, waters low or high, quiet or wild, a place for meditation, contemplation and sports. And, of course, for sketching and painting! May we all help keep it beautiful, clean and healthy.
While my husband was vaccinated in February-March at the Dialysis Center, I finally got an appointment for the end of April at Essen's fair and convention center in the Gruga park.
I had a chance of sketching the queue waiting for the vaccination center to open. Once inside, it was pretty quick, but then, because I was sketching outside, I let I had about thirty people pass me, which gave me some time inside to sketch.

Six weeks later, I went for the second shot. Again, I was a bit early and sketched outside. Later, I had a chance to sketch the crowd sitting their 15 minute rest after the shot, before allowed to move on.
