Angel - Lighter Ink Sketches

These are sketched in the large Canson Mix Media sketchbook with a Prismacolor fine line marker/pen.  I was going to add more colors but .....  Sometimes it is good just to sketch without too much thinking.

Number 1 angel- our red metal tree topper the head, collar and halo are brassy. 
Number 2 lighter - a lighter for the grill with red and black handle and black tube for the butane.

It's beginning to look like Christmas.  I'm cooking meat for the tamales and chile balls.  Also starting the red chile.  Mmmmmm it smells good in here.

Hope you are having a great Sunday.  We will get company starting tomorrow!

Silver - Decoration iPad Sketch

I was too lazy to get out the pastel paper or move to get some ink.  I sketched on my iPad for convenience.  iPad sketches take longer than regular sketches so after I started the sketch I was wishing I had spent a few minutes to change media.

Number 3 silver - I substituted a pewter vase from Bolivia
Number 4 decoration - these are more felt flowers made by Katie/Kathy

We had a few cool days and cold mornings so got a bit of fall color and trees losing their leaves.  I was wondering if it would happen because it had been so warm.  Here are a few photos of the back yard.

Near the mailbox.

The trees are losing their leaves.

The little tree was pretty orange and now losing leaves.

 

I did get the tree up as well.  I did not put all the decorations on it, but it is done. Now to wrap a few presents.

Hopefully you are about ready for the Christmas and other holidays. Wishing you the best!!

Green and White in Pastels

A new Hunt 141 with a few colors as items.  I didn't want to use trees and plants for green so dug out a Mexican bowl.  For white an old Corning ware.  I wiped off a piece of MiTientes paper that had the pine cones and some spots where I was showing the granddaughter how to do eyes and hair.  Didn't mess with it long.  About 30-40 minutes all together.  Quick and messy.....
