Sketches for Hunt 117- Moon, Table, Chair

I am watching the weather channel, yikes! Ice storms all over the place. Thankfully it isn't here yet and may not make it. David and family in Kentucky have ice and no power. Not good.

I sketched today for Scavenger Hunt 117. Moon was one of the items on the list. I found the mirror for the sun, for day before yesterday, but couldn't think of a moon in my house. I can't see the moon tonight and it is cold anyway. Finally, I remembered a photo of my Mom when she was a little girl sitting on a moon. We are to sketch from life, but the photo is so cute I couldn't resist. We sketch sculptures instead of real things, so I am substituting for this one time - a photo.

Number 10, moon - my mom as a little girl. The face was awful so I tried again on the left. The bows in her hair look like horns. No dress behind the handle of the purse either. Oops. From a photo with a Pilot ball point pen in just a few minutes.



Number 11, table - about 20 minutes with the Pilot pen, all in my sketchbook. (Only one and a half pages to go!) Number 12, chair - about 15 minutes. Same pen, same book.

And here is the photo of my Mom. She looks about eight years old??? That would have made it around 1913 or so. How cool she was with a grown up looking purse. It could be a photo of me, too!
