Sketch, Shopping Cart


We were on our way home and stopped at Wal-Mart. Gene went in and I just sat, thinking it was too dark to sketch or work on a puzzle. All of a sudden I remembered that a shopping cart was on the list to sketch in Scavenger Hunt 55. It was dark and the parking lot was fairly empty so I sketched across the lane. A sketch of less than 10 minutes in my Strathmore Sketch book, recycled paper, 3.5 x 5 inches with a Pilot ball point pen. This is just #3 in this hunt. Whew!

I am always afraid someone with "catch me" sketching in public. It's not that it is something awful to be caught doing, just awkward. Sketches are messy and I am always afraid that is what someone will think the final product will look like.

You are very brave

Anna, Thanks for commenting. I has never put my sketches up for review until I started the Scavenger Hunts.

I think I will post about this. Thanks. :)

I like the idea of you scrambling to grab your sketch book and pen before
Dad came back. Heh.

It was a rushed sketch, for sure. I kept having to hold it up to the light from the street lights. We don't have a dome light in the pickup!

The thing is that your Type A, Dad is very patient and will let me finish a sketch without rushing me ... so I could have taken a little longer. When I have been painting while waiting for him when he is on his bike he doesn't mind riding a little longer or just waiting for me. Interesting, huh?
