Today I got out the pastel pencils and did a sketch on Daler-Rowney paper, sort of peach color, 8 x 10 inches. It is 9 - salt and pepper shaker, 10 - beverage, 11 - bowl, 12 - favorite snack, CHOCOLATE and 13 - 3 items from the kitchen. It took about 2 hours, I did the diet, caffeine free Coke last so the ice wouldn't be melted. I like doing glass, eiser with color of course, at least the glass and Coke. This is for Regina who plans to join the next Scavenger Hunt. She liked another snack sketch I did at her house of Coke and potato chips. :) This scavenger hunt has been fun,
I washed clothes today and finished setting up the art room so I could get out the pastels for color sketching. We travel tomorrow to Magdalena, so may not post any art until Wednesday.
I forgot to mention that it was great for Landis to win the Tour de France and that Tiger won the British Open Golf. I got to watch a little of the golf, I enjoy the golf and beautiful courses, but can't stand the talking heads, especially on the main networks. The Golf Channel for the European Tour is better, they talk just as much but show golf instead of the announcers. Oh well.

Very nice sketch!
I thought about you when I got home on Sunday afternoon and saw the end of the British Open. I knew you were probably crying right along with Tiger. And, coincidentally, Jennie was crying right about the same time in the movie we went to!
Thanks, Debbie for the kind remarks. I do like pastels on colored paper. This particular paper has a little more 'grid' effect that shows through, but that is interesting texture, not great for detail.
Joanna, Can't imagine that you would think I would cry with Tiger. Just saw that Landis' win in the Tour de France is suspect for drugs today, not good! Drat.
Beautiful piece Jo!
Thanks, Anita. Pastels are fun.
