Purple Holes Pastel

I started this purple-hole sketch a day or so ago.  Abandoned for a while.  Good thing there were no fruit or flowers involved.  Something yellow would have been nice in the colander to spruce it up.

For the end of Scavenger Hunt 158  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-158-april-28-may-6.7944/

Number 4 purple - napkin and Number 5 with holes - colander.

I sketched with soft pastels on MiTientes paper.  I started on the rough with grid side.   Not my favorite surface and doesn't hold much pastel.  Good for a quick sketch.

We have a new Hunt today.  I will check out the list.  Otherwise not much going on today.  It is raining off and on which is super.  We did get enough to make a puddle in the lower back yard.  It hadn't done that in months.  It wasn't enough to put water in the lakes/ponds but at least the ground will be wet in case we get more "inches" today.  Fingers crossed!
