A couple of days off from posting and sketching. We went to Deming, NM, yesterday. Gene rode his bike, about 50 miles. I arrived there about an hour before him so went to the Deming Art Hop. There are three galleries for that, you can read about it on the Steppin' Out NM link to the left. (Check the calendar for August 5.) There was a variety of styles, media and artists, including gourds and jewelry. The Art Center was having an opening for the month and had a juried show. Enjoyable and good for a small town. I visited with Richard Orona, Proprietor, of the Galeria 200. Very nice, in business since February 2006. Didn't find anything to buy. I looked for a little painting or carving of a house for my kitchen at home. I have a wall with all little houses on it from all over South America, Canada and the U.S.A.
My sketches for today for the Scavenger hunt are #12 - eye, Gene's eye, #13 - 3 tools, a cutter, hammer and pliers, and #14,15,16 - Easel, wallet and door. A reminder that these are quick sketches with no drawing with a pencil first and no erasing. Sketching in this manner gets your eye educated to see the important lines, etc. Very good practice for me, it is slowly getting easier. Today's sketches are in a "no-name" sketchbook, a copy of the Canson. The cover is not as nice and the paper is a little more absorbent and would bleed with watercolor or ink. I also used a no-name ball point pen, it says "The Welcome Addition Club, Support for a Healthy Pregnancy and Baby", I cannot imagine where it would have come from. No babies in our world for 17 years! Christy, granddaughter is the latest. :) But it was in my purse, not here at the rent house.
The chair at the golf putting green is my kind of golf! That is at the Silver City Course, the practice area set up for the Western New Mexico University teams.
Watching golf and rootin' for Tiger!

I didn't watch any sports today. Instead, I went to Jennie's and helped her get new blinds purchased and installed...to replace the ones Snuggles chewed up. And, I only managed to step on the goofy new dog 3 times. He finally learned after the 3rd time and was staying well clear of my feet by about half-way through my visit. Poor little guy!
