The Christmas cactus called for sketching a houseplant. It has one bloom left that hasn't quite opened. They were pretty this year. Very white! The sketch covers about 1/3 of the page of the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook. That makes it about 5 x 7 inches. Drawn with graphite and colored with watercolor. A few strokes of ink with a Micron 03 ended it all.
For Scavenger Hunt 182 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-182-feb-2-feb-14.8680/
Number 5 houseplant - Christmas Cactus
Before getting out the watercolors I sketched at my computer desk with a Micron'02 in the same sketchbook under the sketch of Gene so about 1/2 page. Number 3, elephant and Number 4, hand
The elephants are made of rock maybe. They say made in Kenya. Sort of heavy in a dark gray material. I don't remember where they came from. I know they were a gift so I feel bad that I don't remember. Maybe it is in my blog. I have sketched them before. I found the sketch. I didn't post about the gifter.
Also the baseball games I mentioned previously are next weekend. Two things I had the wrong date in my mind, almost the same day. Yikes. Baseball and dentist so no connection.
