Sheila Foley of Stoneham, Ma. has found a nice little niche for herself. Among other creative endeavors she is a live event painter. She captures special events as they occur, or,when schedules conflict, she does on-site preliminary renditions which she competes later from photos taken at the event. Either way, what comes out is a unique way to remember important occasions.
Here, Sheila does some sketches of the pier at Maritime Gloucester in preparation for a live event painting of an upcoming engagement party.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Thanks for this post. It was great meeting and chatting with you, Marty. Although Evening Under the Spars sounds very cool, I was actually doing a background sketch for an upcoming engagement party. If somebody wants to book me for Aug. 29th though, I still have that date available. Thanks again.

Hi Dave. Sheila Foley here. Live event painting is indeed challenging but lots of fun too. Not sure if I can post my website here so Google my name and Live Event Painter if you’d like to see some of my finished pieces.
