I was setting up easel and deciding on a composition when a group of street musicians set up right in front of my intended subject. Below is a portion of the finished painting.

There was so much activity; people, shoppers, dancers! Oh did I mention it was full blow raining by the time I was forced to quit. Here's a little tip for watercolor in high humidity (misting or heavy drizzle) select paper that is hot press or bristol and a smaller # like 80 or 90. You will have a much better chance for saving a few hard edges. I had a great but brief painting session.
I'll bet this was a far more interesting subject than the one that you intended to paint !
