Hunt 14,15 and 16

This is posted a day late, reason below.

Later on July 24

After I posted the snack items I did two more sketches, but did not feel like posting before our trip - had to get up a little early. For the scavenger hunt, number 14 - my keys, and number 15 - window. The window was most difficult as it was night and the reflections on the left had some dark behind them as well as showing the white interior, plus the reflection of Gene in the chair. It was my first attempt at a night sketch of a window, so all in all, not too bad! These two are with a Nexus pen, violet. Good feel, similar to the fine point Sharpie.

We are in Magdalena this evening on AOL dial-up so will post this on July 26 when we get back to Silver City. I sketched in the yard as it was a beautiful evening. This is water (#16 for the Scavenger Hunt on wetcanvas.com, there were 26 items for this hunt so may not get them all done before they start a new one, but the idea is to sketch .. which happily I have been doing!), where Mom Frances had watered her pine tree. Same Canson sketchbook with a Sharpie. About 30 minutes. Evenings are so nice here, the temperature is perfect and the sunsets are fantastic.

Silver City has nice evenings as well, but the yard has a board fence so you don't have the open views and breeze.

**Note, I added a link, on the left, to Steppin' Out New Mexico, an on line art magazine. They have been kind to me, where I host a sporadic blog and have photos of my art. A great venue for art in New Mexico, I hope more people make use of it. They have ads, news articles, galleries, journals, e-mail, calendars, and much more for the art world in New Mexico. Learn about shows, galleries and more there.
