Sketch Peach Slice, Candy, Wooden Object

I worked on the roses today. I did not like any rendition I started and the paper went sour. I put alcohol on it two more times and I think the tooth was full. At any rate the roses are too dead as well, so no more rose painting and sketch. They were too formal for me, I guess. Not every try is a winner.

This evening I sketched for the Scavenger Hunt on wetcanvas. #6 - Slice of fruit, a peach. #7 - Piece of candy, Reese's Cup.



#8 - Something wooden, Bolivian carved statue. The statue is very dark wood, almost black, probably stained with shoe polish. The face, hands, foot and baby are brown. They were for sale in the 70's in just about any size. This one is about 10 inches tall.

Geesh. Now I want a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup!

I like the wooden statue sketch. 'Might be because I like the statue.

Joanna,
I know what you mean about the Reese's. This Scavenger Hunt has so many food sketches. Candy, fruit, nuts, sandwich, etc. I have had a hard time with that. You see that I started the peanut butter cup before I drew it. :-)

I like the statue as well.

No art yet today. Here I go to get the rocking horse ready.
