Home Again, Jiggity Jig (pastel sketch)

We got home a few days ago.  It was a fast and good trip to New Mexico. We went to visit family.  It was pretty cold there,  but that was expected.  It was very cold here while we were gone and I am glad to have missed that. The temperature got up to 84 degrees on Friday.  Now we are back to the normal of high 50s and low 60s.  It was about 67 on the porch a while ago and I sat there for a while.

I sketched a couple of days ago for the February Challenge in the Southwest forum on wet canvas.

Pastel Sketch, about 40 minutes on the piece of recycled sanded paper.  The ears are still off after I corrected them once.  I won't work on it anymore as it is a sketch and will be wiped off again.  The light was bad in my studio, I thought I was putting orange on as a complement to the blue.  When I got it out in the sun to take the photo it was oops, pink.

This is from a photo that our granddaughter sent of their twin calves, I think last year.  I posted the photo of the twins along with others for the February Challenge.  You are welcome to look at the photos there and sketch or paint from them to post or just for fun.  You might find a photo that will interest you or challenge you.  I cropped this one to sketch the one calf's head instead of the whole photo.

UT Baseball is underway and I ran across this photo from a couple of years ago.  The Longhorns played in Lafayette, Louisiana, against the Ragin' Cajuns this past weekend.  They won the first two games and lost the Sunday game.  I listened to the Saturday game.  Keith Moreland was announcing along with Tom Bradford.  Always fun to listen to Keith.

The Horns play in Rice on Tuesday night and will open at home on Friday against Perdue.  I imagine we will go to the games if it isn't too cold.
