New Hunting

A new Hunt is always inspiring.  I'm always hoping to find new things to sketch.  Our big TV in the living room is out so we were watching the morning news in the bedroom.  I sketched in the Conda sketchbook which has regular sketching paper and is 8.5 x 11 inches in size.  These sketches are done with a Micron 03 on about half a page each.

Number 1 sports equipment - Gene's stationary bike is probably more exercise equipment but it is what we have.

Number 2 useful - the ceiling fan.  More useful now that the temps are over 80º.  We went from record lows a couple of weeks ago to record highs this week.  It may hit 92º today.  86º F at the moment.

Not much going on this week besides physical therapy for Gene.  We will see our primary care doctor tomorrow for some routine questions.  Gene's Parkinson's doctor is going to Oklahoma so we need to find another.  She, Dr. Varga, will be very difficult to replace.  She is one of a kind and sooooo good.

The Longhorn Baseball Team is traveling to Starkville, Mississippi, this weekend to play Mississippi State.   They have only lost one game, the first one, so far.  Hook 'em Horns!  

Bow in Ink

A new list and I'm late as usual.  Number 1, bow or ribbon - I used an old ribbon from Christmas, it is bright red.  This is in the Conda plain paper sketchbook, typing paper size, half page with a Micron 03 pen.  

 

Number 1, bow or ribbon - a bright red piece of ribbon from Christmas, about 2.5 inches wide.  About life size on the paper.

Tree to Mode of Transportation

It was a nice day yesterday so when Gene was at PT I sat outside and sketched a big tree which I thought was on the list.  There was an old Crown Victoria parked there, rusty and gray, so I added that in.  I didn't make the front and back long enough.  That was from the era with big cars, the 70s maybe.  Gene had a Thunderbird at work and it was huge like a Cadillac.  

We came home and I had a cup from the coffee/crepe shop I found there in the same shopping center as PT Solutions.  I sketched that for "mug".  I decided to add color to the tree sketch and when I looked it up to see what number it would be I saw the "tree" was last Hunt.  Sigh.  There was however, mode of transportation and plants on this Hunt so made the sketch fit!

Number 2 plants and number 3 mode of transportation - in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Micron 03 and watercolor added at home.

Number 4 mug - my latte cup I saved from the new place in the shopping center with PT Solutions.  Tecúen, a coffee shop with crepes.  Coffee was good but they don't have low fat....In the big Strathmore watercolor sketchbook.  Pencil, watercolor, Micron pens, White gel pen ....Sketched at my footstool.

Baseball note:

Longhorns are at a tournament in Las Vegas.  They won their came against the Washington Huskies last night.  Final was Horns 10 and Huskies 9.  Starting pitchers did well the first Texas score was a home run by Jalin Flores in the 2nd and Huskies had a home run in the third.  Jalin had another home run at his next at bat in the 5th and then..... Horns had a big inning in the sixth with a 3 run homer and were up 9-1.  Craig and Keith were talking that with the 10 run rule in effect, the game was  out of sight or some such in the next inning and they could go to their hotel.  Then in the top of the 7th the Huskies made 6 runs including a grand slam with no outs. Texas got one run  back in the bottom.  Huskies got 2 more in the 8th and Texas held on.   It was interesting to say the least.  

They play Texas Tech tonight.  Rivals from the Big 12.  Hook 'em Horns.
