Home again ... sketching.

Scavenger Hunt 132 is almost over and I have one sketch done. I sketched with the Pilot ball point pen in my small sketchbook. Just a few minutes in front of the grocery store while Gene shopped. Nice guy, eh?


Number 1, flower. The flowers for sale at HEB.

I worked on a commission today. A pastel of saguaros. I have a good start on it. It will be 9 x 15 on Colourfix sanded paper in a deep brick color. I'm anxious to get it done as I have several deadlines looming.

The Austin Pastel Society has a miniature show in June. I hope you get a chance to visit the Scarbrough building to see the show. The work will be great. You might find a painting you can't live without. I have one painting ready, but need to have two. Gene will frame them.

We are also having an in-house show at the June meeting with a painting or two which have to follow certain guidelines. That is always interesting to have a path to follow. More about that as I start the paintings.

Lots of painting and framing to follow as we get ready to go to New Mexico, too. Stay tuned.......
