See, even back in 1982 I was drawing in church!
 
In 1982, after we moved to San Jose from a year in Michigan, Kathy and I found out about this little church in San Jose called ‘Bread of Life’.  There had to be no more than 50 people max that attended.  As a result we became fast friends with many of the group.  
 
Here is an example of what a finished sketchbook drawing of the time looked like.

Here is an example of a faster drawing that if I had kept going would end up similar in style to the guitar drawing above.

The woman drawn here, Nita, and her husband Michael (not the guy playing guitar above) became our best friends for many many years during our stay in San Jose, even after we moved on from that church.
