New Beginning

A new Hunt begins.  Always fun to see the new list and begin the search......

I got out my Lamy pen.  Hadn't used it for ages.  It is a real ink pen with refills and nib.  The ink in it had dried up and maybe the refill as well.  I washed it out and it worked for a bit.  I had to finish the writing and edge of the printer with my Pilot ball point pen.  Sigh.....

Number 1 lamp - the pole lamp here in studio.  Actually the bulb is the interesting part.  The three sections can be turned.  I have them shining on the ceiling.  It lights up my studio with few shadows that way.  Much like daylight.

Number 2 interesting shadow - the shadow under my shelf and wall with shadow from the printer.  There were two light sources.  Didn't have my "no shadows" light on.  

Drawn with the Lamy pen until it gave out.  Shadow on the wall with watercolor.

And there you have it.

For the new Scavenger Hunt from Life 112  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-112-apr-25-may-3.6807/

The weather is supposed to be stormy in the area for a few days.  Nothing here yet.  Larry is going to Dallas for a race.  Hope the weather holds out for that and the traveling.  The Longhorn baseball team will be in Norman, Oklahoma, to play the Sooners.  It will be hard for them to get in the three games I bet.  First one tonight at 6:30 p.m.  We can watch on ESPN+  Hook 'em Horns!

End of Hunt111 Sketch

 Well, I was on the other porch where the grill is.  Some items for the Hunt found leaning against the wall.

Number 10 wall hanging - substituting an art-a-fake rock from Peru.
Number 11 anchor - again, I'm not sure where the anchor came from.  Gene probably found it when riding his bike or trike.  We have never had a boat and I would not get on one except on special occasions or necessity, like taking a ferry to get someplace interesting.

These are in the Canson mix media sketchbook, 9 x 12 inches, with Blick Gray markers and Micron 03.

Memory Material

It is  cloudy and damp but not too bad to sit on the porch this morning.  I was looking for books to sketch and ran across the top book.  It brought up good memories so perfect for my sketch of material, reading material.

Number 9 material - reading material, sketched in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Micron 03, Sharpie, Gelly Roll and watercolors.

 

Sketching fun on the porch.

The book was edited and put together by Bill Siems.  As I recall he found me on the web and asked if I had photos of Aunt Katie and maybe some other info.  He sent me the book.

Bruce Kiskaddon would write a poem and my Aunt Katie, Katherine Field, would illustrate or she would draw a cowboy scene and he would write the poem.  They were very good friends and he came to Magdalena and met my mom and dad.  Maybe I saw him when I was small.  Their poems and illustrations were published on the Los Angeles Livestock calendars in the 50s.  

 Pretty nifty.  Surely I wrote about this but can't see it on my blog.  Hmmmm.
