Cooler Sketch

My last sketch for this Hunt is the "cooler" I use for ice cream when I pick up groceries.  It used to be for my lunch and drinks when we traveled for plein air painting or just running around.

Number 10 cooler - in the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook.  About half a page with a Micron02 and watercolors.

The cooler is not that wonky, it is just my perspective.  I sketched on the porch.  Slightly warm but it was about 730 a.m. so not bad.  The last I looked it was 100º in the car about noon.  Gene had PT and then we got a Chef's Salad at the Roadhouse Bastrop.  (We have a new Texas Roadhouse here, not be confused with that.  We haven't been yet.)  The salad is huge so we share with a side of fries and a blueberry milkshake that we also share.  Nice lunch.

Gene and Joanna walked by the lakes the other day, well, Joanna pushes Gene in the wheelchair.  He is still unable to walk unassisted and not on the bumpy trail for sure.  Gene brought me a flower.  It was so tiny and cute.  Turns out it is a Texas Frogfruit.  https://txmg.org/hendersonmg/plant-library/texas-frogfruit/ 

 

Garbage Footwear Sketches

It was my day out.  It was very warm, but I parked in the shade and rolled my windows down.  Not too bad with a breeze.  The item on the list was "garbage".  Fun to find this dumpster overflowing with stuff.  The house is being updated.  The whole inside was gutted.  The outside looked pretty good.  Roof looks new but the screens on the windows were bad.  

Then I went to Jersey Mike's for a tuna sandwich lunch.  They have gluten free bread.  It was good, but I like Schlotzkey's bread better.  I like the tuna and bread at New World Deli in Austin.  So yummy.

 Number 8, garbage - Both sketches are in the Canson Mixed Media sketchbook, large paper.

Number 9, footwear - a girl in a sundress and boots caught my eye.  I got her out of proportion.  The people go through quickly so I sort of sketch a combo and memory if you do more than one person.  The worker was a woman, this looks like a guy with a weird hat or ???

At any rate it was good to be out and about.  I brought Gene a Dairy Queen sundae and a Blizzards for the caretaker, Shellie and myself.  Gene had a pretty good day, too.  We both need a break once in a while.
 

Open Multiple Things Sketch

This beautiful morning found us out by the east lake or pond (as it is drying up).  It was a lovely morning for a very hot day to come.  I sat on the bench and sketched in the small Ohuhu sketchbook.  I took my sketchbook, pen and watercolors.  I failed to take the water brushes however and did ink sketches.  I added watercolors to the first sketch back at the house.  I liked the sketch  better before color so left the second without color.  That is the fire station in the background.

Number 6 open - open view
 

Number 7 multiple things - trees, Loblolly Pines, yupon and another bushy something.

I found a recipe for Rice Krispie squares, titled "Grammie's Rice Krispies Squares".  They have peanut butter, chocolate and butterscotch.  I will get the ingredients and try them.  I like easy gluten free sweets when I have sweets.  I will report back and share the recipe ... if it is good.
