I looked at wetcanvas.com, Scavenger Hunt #8, this morning to see the final sketches and comment if anyone had anything new up. Just as I started the browser, I thought about all these sketches from life, no photos, no memory shots. An then wham! My simplicity - Scrabble board was .. from a photo, from my memory and I even stated it was so. Wow, guess that certainly disqualifies that sketch. Ha. Will have to do an extra one for the next hunt. Ah, me. It was such a good idea.......
No sketching or painting, well, yes, I did play in the pastels a little as you see. I had a piece of Wallis paper near the easel, I had been showing Gen how pastels work when they were here. She is painting in acrylics and taking lessons. I was talking to Gene and thinking about an idea I have of painting old fashioned floppy roses, so was just doodling with the pastels I had out from working on the Orange Door. Not a bad sketch, but from memory you can see that the roses were starting to all look the same. It is the same as painting rocks for me. Without a model, I tend to make them all the same. Quirky, huh?
There is also a golf photo which is a lovely spot here at the Silver City course from today.

I try to draw a rose and it looks nothing like a rose. Whether I'm looking at a rose or not. I don't think yours look alike, by the way. Pretty colors.
Thanks, Joanna. Maybe I will finish those and maybe just use the paper for another project. Fun to work on though and not have to think about a final result! Relaxing that way.
