Hunt 120 is Well Underway

I'm late on the draw (literally).  The Hunt 120 started on June 28.  Typical of me, don't you think?  Worse every day.  We will blame it on age.  As indecisive and forgetful as I am, I cannot imagine Biden running our country .. he might forget to call a meeting or miss one. We need younger patriotic folks running our government.   But that's another story.   See how "my" mind wanders.  Sigh.....

Back to art.  For Scavenger Hunt 120 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-120-june-28-july-6.6992/

 Number 1, landscape

I sketched on the porch on my iPad with the App brushes.  I wanted color and didn't want to drag my pastels to the porch.  I broke my plein air easel and haven't dug out my old one.  See how I go.  It was overcast and things were not too bright and shiny.

I came in, started my post to creativespark.art and decided to take a photo.  The sun is out now and beating down with a vengeance.

I wonder how many times I've sketched this view?  The lakes are getting so low.  They were dry when we moved in in 2011 and I think it was the next spring that we had enough rain to overflow the two lakes and fill them up.  We need another gully-washer.

Today is prep for Joanna's birthday.  Her car gave her problems over the weekend and she has been using one of ours.  We change cars today and I will cook and make a Carrot Cake for her day.  We will have some New Mexican food.   Larry is traveling so he won't be here. He is off in cool weather like upstate New York.   Dang.  It will all be good, I hope.

Speaking of Larry,

There are mermaids in San Marcos.
