The Hunting Continues Sketches

The Hunts continue and the sketches are coming.  Over the years I have sketched the things in our house so many times.  Sometimes it takes a different technique to make it interesting.

For Scavenger Hunt From Life #9 I decided to accept a challenge of using stippling.  This is another technique that to do it well you have to be very patient.  You can see that I am not patient with the variety of size in my dots.  They should all be the same and just closer together for the shadows and dark parts.

Number 6 - orange, a Texas cup with a Lamy Pen in the regular large Canson sketchbook.  

For Scavenger Hunt from Life #10 I sketched in the Canson watercolor sketchbook with a Sharpie pen.

Number 1 - something you intend to throw away (eventually)  I decided to add watercolor to this as it was hard to tell what it is.  As I was sketching I saw some new green leaves so it may not be so easy to throw away.

Number 2 - something you collect .. Actually these are Gene's collections or part of them.  He collects caps and walking canes and sticks.  I have sketched this before.  This is the Sharpie pen in the regular large Canson sketchbook.

We went to the skin doctor for a checkup on Gene's pre cancer spots on his head.  They froze a couple more spots.  Then we went to lunch at the 602 Brew Pub.  Nice lunch and then realized that it is National Spouse Day so we celebrated without knowing it.

Thanks for checking on me and my artsy endeavors.  I was looking in my inventory since 2006 when I really started keeping paintings by number there are about 230.  These don't include sketches or some give aways or "undocumented" paintings.  Before that I have photos of roughly 180 paintings.  I hadn't thought of inventory.  I had posted on my web page and then did better when I started my blog and had my gallery.  Paying sales taxes and income taxes require better/good records.  Pretty amazing.  I painted lots that were in the maybe I'll fix or throw away file.  Sometimes it seems like many paintings and sometimes it feels like I'm just getting started.
