End of Hunt 137

My last sketches for Hunt 137.  Time flies when you don’t expect it too.  


For Hunt  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-137-nov-11-nov-19.7411/

Number 5 quilt - sub blanket on the couch, orange and white Texas throw

Number 6 gum - sub Tootsie Roll Pop  I had been wondering about those the other day and saw some at the convenience store.  Bought a few and this cherry one is the last of my purchase.  They were good!

These are in the large Canson sketchbook on the bottom of the page where I sketched the last two.  I used a Pilot ballpoint pen.

We went for Gene’s Parkinson’s checkup.  He is doing pretty well considering the stroke.  She said his batteries and DBS is all OK.  No damage there.  He needs to keep up the therapy to keep active and moving!

Mechanical - Kitten

You may know that I don’t do cats.  Kitten was on the list and I don’t even have a cat toy.  I did find this pottery whistle from Peru.  I have sketched it before when we have a cat on the list.  I liked it better before I outlined it.  I was mainly just trying the pens. I hadn’t used them in a while.  The set is Ohuhu pens, a set of 8 assorted nibs.

In the large Canson sketchbook, about half a page.


Number 3 mechanical - pencil and Number 4 kitten - the whistle

I sketched out on the porch.  It was another beautiful day.

We had company.  Jennie came out and cooked Chimichangas for our dinner and left some leftovers for another meal or two.  Yummy.  Joanna and her friend, Spring, came by on their way to the Bugle Boy.  Ordinary Elephant is playing tonight.  I forgot to tune in as we were doing other things.  They came to Silver City years ago and we met them.  I had sketched some pottery elephants for the Hunt so that is a story.   https://jocastilloartblog.blogspot.com/2016/09/pastels-for-hunt-465-and-pen-sketch.html

Sorry we couldn’t go see them.

Happy Birthday, Oliver! (Lisa and Cole, too)

A quick birthday card for our oldest great grandson.  Besides being a quick card, it is also late.  Gene and I didn’t get cards sent for the last 3 birthdays.  Today is catch up for Lisa, Cole and Oliver.  Yikes!

Happy Birthday!!

I’m doubling it for a sketch of free space for the Scavenger Hunt.  Sketched on the card with a Sharpie pen and a red Micron.
