On the Porch

Yes, nice morning on the porch for a quick sketch.  We came in about 9 a.m. because it was warming up.  It is humid and sticky out.

Number 7 snack and Number 8 egg beater.  In the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook, about 2/3 of a page.  I used Ohuhu pens, pencil and watercolors.

Take care out there.   

Free Space Sketch

Gene had physical therapy yesterday and I had the day off.  I'm only going once a week now.  We may slow Gene down to twice a week.  We shall see.  I have a hard time with schedules.....

I sketched while Gene worked out.  Sat at the table I sketched the other day and looked toward Old Navy.  There were vehicles in the handicapped parking so figured they would stay put.  As soon as I started the people came to the SUV on the right and got in.  I hurried to get the position of the vehicle and then they sat there a while.  The other was a pickup and I got lost on the back tires and have them in the middle of the truck.  Oh well, it was pretty nice out and I was in the shade.

Number 6 free space - In the Ohuhu sketchbook, I thought I might add watercolor at home.  Didn't happen.  I sketched with a Micron 03.

Plein Air Hunting

 We are trying some respite care.  For the first time to use it I went to get the car washed and sketch a little.  Well, the car wash was closed and it was a bit rainy early so it was cool enough to sit in the shade at the food truck court in Bastrop.  There was a coffee/drink trailer open and a Mexican food place open, just the two.  I had a latte from the huge menu at the coffee place and a gordita from the food truck.  Pretty good.    

I sketched the coffee truck and the foundry show room across the street for Scavenger Hunt 164.  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-164-jul-01-jul-13.8061/

Number 3 animal - the sculptures.  Left to right the bear seems to have wings and had some turquoise color on it, maybe rock art drawings.  The next I couldn't really see ... maybe an  odd shaped unicorn.  The rounded animal may be a bear or pig.  It looked like an elephant with no trunk.  The last was an abstracted longhorn.  I ran out of space to do it justice and was using pen with too large nib for my small drawing.  All I could see on the sign was Found so not sure if I was seeing all the name.  The showroom is for the foundry in Bastrop and I haven't been in to check it out.  Looks very nice.  There was a red Jeep parked there, too.  Jeep was on the list last Hunt.  I need to get closer and check it out.  Maybe next day out.

Number 4 pink - the coffee truck had lots of pink on it.  I should have sketched in a customer or two but I'm out of practice catching action, next time!

Number 5 building - as I got in the car I saw I was right across from the fire station.  I only had a few minutes so I sketched  and put the color this afternoon at home.

These are in the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook, half page each.  I used some Ohuhu pens and watercolors. 

Gene was worried about me leaving him but he liked the lady that came so we will try again next week.  Medicare pays for a few hours.  My idea is to have emergency care arranged in case I have to go to the ER or something and who will be with Gene?  This place has emergency care to come stay with him for a few hours or days.
