Landscape Sketch

I am so far behind on computer stuff, paper work, etc., my studio and table are covered with junk mail and junk.  It will take a few days here to get back to just litter!

We did have our breakfast sandwiches on the porch the last couple of days so I sketched this morning.  A small landscape on the bottom of the previous doughnut in box sketch.

Number 2 landscape - as usual the back yard.  The Indian Blankets are blooming.  Pretty after the bit of rain we had.  I think there was about 2 inches here when it was flooding north  and south of  us.  Some is better than none.  This is Sharpie pen and watercolor.

 I used an old Windsor Newton set of paints, very small with 12 colors.  Not the best tones.  No good green.   But at least I put pen to paper!

 

Sweet Sketch

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.  I'm hoping you will still be reading my posts!  Gene had a setback starting with pneumonia on May 19.  In the hospital for about 10 days and then in rehab where he was after his stroke.  He is home now and working on getting strength back.  I think the worst is over.  He isn't able to walk on his own but getting around pretty good in a wheelchair.  We are thankful for our great kids.  Such a big help at this time.

Number 1 something sweet - a doughnut in a box.  A little out of proportion.  I am so out of practice.    This was done in the large Canson sketchbook with a Micron 03 pen.

Take care out there.....
 

Skyline Indigo

 It is great when an unplanned sketch fits the Hunts. This is the view from our window in Austin. It fits in Hunt 191 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-191-may-2-2-jun-13.9055/#post-144074

Number 1 Indigo - the night sky was very much indigo. It was cloudy so this was the sunset. The lighted dome is the state capitol and the dark building to the right is the top of the football stadium. I used the app, Bushes, on my iPad. 

We are in Austin as Gene is spending time in the hospital. He is better. Some pneumonia and congestion a stomach bleed. He is recovering and should be released in a few days.

Never a dull moment in our lives. I hope to sketch a bit more around here. 

Here is a link to another nocturnal in Austin.  I did this from another hospital window a few years ago nHave fun
