Prossesion Girl

In San Antonio, Texas you have market square, San Fernando Cathedral and Main Plaza all in a 10 block radius. People gather for any occasion in any of these locations, to walk the plaza or to meet someone for fun or to go shopping. Yesterday there was a procession for someone who died long ago. It was the anniversary of their loved one who had passed away.


I was inspired to do a quick drawing on paper with charcoal. The girl was caring a big Mexican flag over her shoulder and was proud of doing it. She had walked from market square to main plaza which is in front of San Fernando Cathedral. This was where they where going to honor their loved one. This was a moving moment for that family and I was moved to do this drawing.
