One of the artists on the Scavenger Hunts sketched several kinds of trees in ink. I thought of sketching our back yard again in ink but playing in the pastel dust struck my fancy. The drawback for using the pastels was that I had to come in the house away from the lovely morning on the porch.
I did come into my studio and looked for something from Scavenger Hunt from Life 40 list

Number 2 yellow - lemons
Number 3, jug - a growler from 602 Brewing on Main
I sketched on a piece of the MiTeintes new cheaper paper. It is a bit slick compared to the regular so I won't buy more. Just using up what I have.
The sketch is about 10 x 10 inches and took about 40 minutes.
It was good to play a bit. I always have trouble finding something yellow in the house besides bananas and lemons. So lemons it is. They are pretty big. I need to use them up .. it's margarita time someplace, right?

By the way the Drug Enforcement Administration announced they removed 36,000,000 lethal doses of Fentanyl from the illegal market between May 23, 2022 and Sept 8, 2022 in the One Pill can Kill initiative. They seized 10.2 million pills and 980 pounds of powder. Someone should be worried about our border. 300 people a day die from this drug.

Lovely work
ashok, thanks so much for stopping by. Pastels are my favorite medium.
the jar looks really nice, great reflections
Jennifer Rose, thanks so much. The pale ale that was inside was pretty good, too.
LOL! :)
I love the yellow lemons with the growler. Yellow is fun.
The border is a mess, but then so is so many things these days. I try not to let it get to me, and just live my life as best I can. We need to get together and visit and maybe rant a bit :)
bag blog, thanks. I forget to take the growler and refill it. I don't drink much beer .. started the pale ale in Red River, remember? The border gets to me once in a while. NY has a huge problem with a few thousand, what about Texas, New Mexico and Arizona with 2,000,000 plus the get aways. More than the whole state of New Mexico. Children being trafficked. Jeepers, we do need to get together.
