Scavenger Hunt 120 runs through February 22 and I haven't done many. Here are a few from last night. Sketched freehand with a Micron 005 pen. About thirty minutes total.
#2, something that cuts - the paper cutter. I'm not sure why but the sketch of the paper cutter and the tape (below) both look long and drawn out. Maybe it was getting used to the sketchbook with the half page for sketching and lines for notes. Apparently this book is for a traveling journal.
#3, something sticky - Scotch tape.
#4, shoe or slipper - my shoe. I wonder how many times I have sketched these shoes. I have had them many years and they are so comfy. They are on their last leg, now, so sad.
I decided to add a photo of the sketchbook. Sue gave it to me a few years ago, more than a few, and you can see how much I have used the colored pencils attached. I have probably filled about 1/3 of it. It was designed and distributed in Canada, Raincoast Books, 2002, The Imagineering Co., Design by Henry Quiroga and printed in Hong Kong.
"It was a dark and gloomy night, three men ...... " Actually it is a dark and gloomy day. It is not raining but everything is wet. Gene is working on the downstairs rooms for our guest Sue. The room flooded a few years ago and we have been using rugs on the cement floor. Gene decided it was finally time to put down some carpet which entailed moving all the bookshelves and things we store in the closet. That means sorting, washing, throwing out, etc. That is our exciting Tuesday. He has been working on it for a few days.
Hopefully I will finish the apple painting, too. Stay tuned!
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.
