| Pen&ink and watercolor on A6 Hahnemühle cotton sketchbook |
I met with Nadia Samarina in downtown San Luis Potosí. Every time I visit this city she’s kind to find time to meet with me and sketch together. She let me chose the place, the Kiosk of Musicians in Plaza de Armas. I’ve never done this structure. As I was sketching I read one the names displayed on the side of the kiosk I was sketching, it shows Genaro Codina. It was the name of the street where I grew up in Zacatecas city, what a coincidence!
After sketching we went for a coffee where Nadia’s work is displayed and for sale. Her work is wonderful. It is at this Cafe were she gave me a book she published this year, a book of sketches of San Luis Potosí, sponsored by San Luis Potosí city’s government. What a gift! It was a pleasant surprise since I’m an admirer of her work.

Before leaving the place we took a selfie to remember our encounter. We’ll meet again for sure, Nadia is a very talented artist and always great company. And yes, we both cut our hair short without knowing each other did, great minds think alike! Ha!
