Scavenger Hunt Sketches - ball, heavy

I got a couple more sketches done for Scavenger Hunt 80. Tomorrow is the last day. My total will be 9. Out of 29, that isn't very many. On the other hand, I got some practice in. I can feel that these two are better. I took a little time and have been sketching for a few days in a row. It doesn't take very much time to get rusty. It is much like cooking, playing a musical instrument or any skill that requires practice. If you don't practice regularly, you lose the touch.



Number 8, ball. A baseball that Gene caught at one of the Longhorn games. It sits on a leather cup used to roll dice for a game we played in Bolivia they call Prudencia (prudence). Of course I don't remember the rules to play now. About 20 minutes with a Micron 005 pen in the NY sketchbook.


Number 9, something heavy. A carved rock from Bolivia. It is about a foot long and 10 inches wide and weighs at least 12 or more pounds. It is heavier than my 10 pound weights. It is roughly carved, maybe granite, a copy of a relic.


Speaking of baseball, the Longhorns are in Norman, Oklahoma, playing a series with the Sooners. The Horns won yesterday 10-7 and lost today 5 - 3. Read about it on Joanna's blog and the official page.
