Building and More

Gene’s room overlooks the roof. I could see the wind sock for the helicopter landing area.  One item for hunting is “building”. 

I haven’t been hunting and sketching much. Gene is Ok but had a small stroke they say. He is having difficulty with speech and navigation. The plan is intensive therapy, 3 hours a day, in the St. David’s hospital rehab. So far so good. The stroke was October 5.  Plan in therapy for 2-4 weeks. Then ??? Depends on progress. 

I have sketched some but not very much.  Hopefully I will do more.    We are on Hunt 133 already. 

Im not sure about numbers but this is in the small sketchbook with the Acurit 03. Body part - my hand and Game piece - Gene’s do-dad for fidgeting. 


We will see how it goes. A couple of weeks more here in Austin.

Evil Eye Repellent Inktober Day 4

We received a gift of an evil eye to repel bad luck or make good luck.  It was a gift from Kathy that she brought from Turkey.   Inktober Day 4 was exotic so I thought of this gift and sketched it late last night with a Sharpie pen in the Canson book under the boots from the day before.

For Inktober 2024 on creativespark.art.  https://creativespark.art/threads/inktober-2024-post-your-work-here.7311/page-2#post-120072

I also sketched in in 2012 when it was new.  Not very different.

Inky Boots

The day got away from me.  Imagine that. 


  

Inktober 2024

Day 3 boots - my red ones.  In the Canson Mix Media sketchbook about 6 x 6 inches with Micron 03.  I sketch freehand and this was quick as I forgot to do a sketch today and now it is late.  We were watching TV and it was a little dark.  Pretty sure the design is not very accurate on the tops.
