It was physical therapy day for Gene and a little warm to sketch outside. I picked up a leaf on the way in. Pretty sure it was an oak leaf as that was on the Hunt list. There are several kinds of oaks in this area so not sure which oak it is.
For Scavenger Hunt from Life 172 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-172-oct-05-oct-17.8314/
I sketched in the Canson travel sketchbook which has regular paper so no color. The leaf was brown and lighter on the bottom side than the top. It was about 4 or 5 inches long, so a good size to sketch. I sketched with a Micron 02 so a bit finer line which worked well for this sketch.

I didn't mention that I had my outgoing email shut off for a day. Something weird on the email I sent of the sketch of the tree silhouette several posts back. So weird. Joanna came and worked on the problem for me. We first thought it was the Apple mail, but turned out it was the server. We re-installed the accounts several times. The server said "abusive pattern detected". My AOL account goes through my server too, so both outgoing emails were affected. My Fine Art Studio, web page hosts, figured it out, contacted the server and they turned my mail back on. Once Joanna and FASO figured it out it was fixed quickly. Hmmmm.
Sorry if I missed answering a comment or email.
Joanna is a great tech person for us. Thank you, Joanna.
If you have not decided where to start your website consider FASO. They specialize in websites for artists. A blog, newsletter, inventory, shopping cart, extra photos, etc. are included. Contest entries as well. You deal with real people! The headquarters is in San Antonio. You can work remotely if you would like to work for them.
I have my blog separately on Blogger (Google) just because I've had it there forever, well since 2006. I used to do my own website Adobe software I had purchased but it went on-line so I would pay monthly so I went to FASO it is so easy to use. No more dealing with the codes.
