I attended the Maryland Renaissance Festival this weekend out by Annapolis. I enjoy the food, the costumes, and the Shakespeare, but the highlight for me is always the joust - which is also the official state sport of Maryland. The sketch above is from a visit in 2009, but this year I decided to focus on the horses and riders. They move quickly, but I managed to get some quick gestural sketches in when they paused to re-arm:
