Sketches, Scavenger Hunt 54

I need to make up for the days I missed in "my" Scavenger Hunt 54. It is rainy here today, so no golf. I sketched but not ideal conditions for the outside sketches. These sketches are with the Micron 005, blue, pen in the NY Sketchbook. I started sketching in it way back on Hunt 47. I don't use a pencil sketch or rulers, etc. when sketching in pen. If I really look and don't rush, I do better. This is a challenge I have given myself to try to learn to look and then make a correct mark or two.

#4, a fence. This is the iron fence across the street sketched from inside our front door. About 15 minutes.

#5, a garden tool, clippers and #6, a small table, the table here in the study. It has a tile top on iron lumpy legs. I did not take care in the perspective. Color added with colored pencils didn't make it look any better. Perhaps I should have opened the clippers to give them more form, Took about 30 minutes as well. :(

#7, steps. It was wet, but I worked more on the perspective and ignored the wet look. About 20 minutes.

#8, row of something. A black sculpture of elephants. It is about 3 inches high and a foot long, appearing to be made of carved lightweight stone or synthetic stone.

Other than the warped perspective on the table, all your sketches look nice today!

Joanna,
DThe table matched my state of mind I guess...warped! Ha. It rained and we were house bound. Your Dad gets restless!
