Lamp Tree Sketch

I sketched at PT with Gene a few days ago and then at the park here by the house.  Joanna and I sat in the shade at the pavilion by the fire station.

Number 3, candle or lamp - the light fixtures at PT, well some of them.

Number 4, big tree - at the playground park by the firehouse near the house.

I have missed sketching and posting.  I had a procedure on my heart, ablation.  It should fix my A-fib and I got to quit one medicine with bad side effects.  I was in the hospital overnight.  That was much harder on Gene than on me.  He needs routine.  Having other caretakers and more people around is hard.  He is doing OK again.

Back soon....
 

Furniture Sketch

The dining table was my desk for sketching today.  In the big Conda sketchbook with a Micron 02 that is on its last leg.  I could make soft lines as the ink and nib are giving out.  The piece of furniture is sort of a buffet.  The top opens to set hot dishes on, not to keep them warm.  Below I keep dishes and kitchen stuff I don't use often.  In the drawers I have playing cards, candles, matches and various junk drawer items.  Also some extra serving pieces and steak knives are kept there.

Number 3 furniture

We had about a 10 minute sprinkle this morning.  Guess is just enough to make the grass grow so the mowers will have to come.  Otherwise just enough to cool it off for an hour or so.  We expect 100º plus for the next week again.

Happy Birthday Gene

Happy Birthday Gene!  It is the 35th anniversary of his 50th birthday.  Hope he has a good day.  He has PT and maybe lunch with Joanna, Jennie and me.  We will celebrate his birthday and mine together in a couple of weeks with cake and all.

Number 1 hand and Number 2 ink - I only have some acrylic ink.

Sketched in the Conda sketchbook, 8.5 x 11 inches.  About 2/3 of the page, so about life size.
