Jam in Front of Me Sketch

I was looking for jam or jar that I hadn't sketched.  I decided on the grape jelly.  Then I thought I could sketch another item on the list, "right in front of me".  These are sketched in the large Conda sketchbook with an Ohuhu 0.2 pen.

 This Hunt was over on September 6.  I am posting here just for my records.

Number 5 jam or jar and Number 6 right in front of me.

It was good to play in the ink. 

This was sketched on the porch on Saturday.  We were going along smoothly.  Then...Saturday night Gene had a seizure.  It didn't last long and I had no idea what happened so another night in the hospital.  They wanted to do a few tests and Gene was too agitated in the hospital so we just brought him home.  He is doing OK and I am recovered pretty well, so all good again in the Castillo household.  Check up on Monday then back to PT and schedules.  Thanks to wonderful kiddos and we can get caretakers when needed.  

We will celebrate our two birthdays tomorrow.  Will be back soon.... 

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.
