Hunting Leaves and more....sketch.

I sketched at the table, easier that trying to set up on the porch.  It is still great porch weather and we are taking advantage of that.

I sketched in the Conda sketchbook with a Sharpie and added colored pencil.  I think the coloring took as long as sketching.

These flowers were a surprise from some friends.  Terry worked with Gene and was his boss in Phoenix.  Such good and caring friends.  Just in time for the Hunt, too.

 

I am not able to care for Gene at home now.  He is in a skilled nursing home in Smithville about 25 minutes from home.  I will see him every day.  He seems to be settling in.  He has only been there since Friday.  That was always our plan but it is not easy to be caregivers and as a family we are hoping it will be the right place.  So far so good.

 

 

 

Scarecrow and Cookies Sketches

The scarecrow was started at Gene's Oncology visit.  Digi takes so long for me - this about 2 hours.  I put down the main ideas and finished at home.   I could sketch with a pen in a few minutes and then add color in another few.  Oh, well, I sketched!!

Number 1 scarecrow - digi on iPhone with Brushes App.

Number 2 treat - gluten free peanut butter cookies in the Conda sketchbook, 1/3 page with Micron 03.  That poor pen is about out of ink and nib but keeps on going therefore, the fuzzy lines. 
Inktober 30 - cookie.  I'm not trying to do all the Inktober prompts.  They don't fit in the Scavenger Hunt and I don't have time to post them.  I could probably sketch them but like digital sketching, posting takes longer than sketching.

 
We have had beautiful weather with the doors open most of the day and with time on the porch.  The sunrises and sunsets have been lovely.  This is this morning.  We still need rain, but this is my favorite weather season.

Quiet and Flexible Sketch

Haven't had much time to sketch even having David here to help.  We did all sit on the porch the other day so I sketched in the Conda sketchbook while we visited.  This sketch with a Zig Millennium pen 05 is in the Conda Sketchbook, about 1/2 page.

The sketch will do double duty for the Hunt https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-202-oct-12-oct-25.9351/  and for Inktober.

This is in the back toward the dried up ponds.  For the Scavenger Hunt it is Item 5 quiet place and for Inktober it is for flex as the limbs are flexible.  I'm not trying to do the Inktober things in order.  Most would have to be from photos.  I prefer sketching from life and will crossover from the Hunts if the items fit somehow.

Today we are here, David and Larry with Gene while I catch up on some paperwork.  Joanna gets a little time off.  Beautiful weather with the doors open in the mornings and evenings.  Still pretty warm midday.
