Open Multiple Things Sketch

This beautiful morning found us out by the east lake or pond (as it is drying up).  It was a lovely morning for a very hot day to come.  I sat on the bench and sketched in the small Ohuhu sketchbook.  I took my sketchbook, pen and watercolors.  I failed to take the water brushes however and did ink sketches.  I added watercolors to the first sketch back at the house.  I liked the sketch  better before color so left the second without color.  That is the fire station in the background.

Number 6 open - open view
 

Number 7 multiple things - trees, Loblolly Pines, yupon and another bushy something.

I found a recipe for Rice Krispie squares, titled "Grammie's Rice Krispies Squares".  They have peanut butter, chocolate and butterscotch.  I will get the ingredients and try them.  I like easy gluten free sweets when I have sweets.  I will report back and share the recipe ... if it is good. 

 

 

Truck or Not and Sample Sketches

 It was my day out so I went to sketch.  It was too hot to be outside so went to the library to see what I could find and not be in the way.  It was noon and all the restaurants are pretty full and not parking downtown.  I found a chair by the window and sketched the scene outside.  It fit the Scavenger Hunt list for "truck" if I substituted the cars and SUVs out there.

My second sketch was my lunch at Anita's.  The item on the list was "sample" so I sampled a few things.  I had salsa and chips, a puffy taco with ground beef, guacamole which was in a little fried tortilla bowl like taco salad, cute and a new touch for them.  And a virgin margarita (no alcohol).  It was good even with no tequila.  Sigh..... I like tequila.  The table top was like the Mexican flag.  I didn't notice when I sat down.

Both sketches are in the newer Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook, 8.5 x 5.5 inches.  I used an Ohuhu 0.2 pen and watercolors.  

It was a good time today.  Gene did well with his caregiver and we are ready for the night.  Hope we sleep well!

Multiple Items Sketches

I sketched at Physical Therapy for Gene yesterday.  Not much to see, sort of like a doctor's office.  It is so good for Gene to be more active.

I sketched in a sketchbook I got for the great grands.  I sketched on the back page, just in case.  The tablet style is 4 x 6 inches, Master's Touch by Fabriano.  Nice paper, will take watercolor.  The sketches fill the page.  I used a Pentel R.S.V.P.  ballpoint pen.  About 30 minutes.

Number 2 box-tissue box and Number 3 multiple items

Maybe more sketching today.  It is too hot to be outside during my day off, so maybe a library or coffee place.  

Log or Wooden Sketches

It was starting to get warm about 930 or so  but we went for a walk anyway.  Joanna pushed Gene in the wheelchair so she got a workout.  I went to the first bench and sketched in the Ohuhu sketchbook that is 10 x 7.6 inches with only one more page to fill.  I had my small watercolor set, Windsor Newton.  I'm not fond of the colors in this set.  It is small and fits in my pocket, though.
