Scavenger Hunt 120 Ending Already, Few Sketches

It seems like I just started Scavenger Hunt 130 and surprise, it is the last day. I did want to get one more pen and ink sketch for the Hunt. We played golf early and went to town. While Gene did the shopping I worked on a "to do" list. Deadlines and trips are looming so I thought I better get a plan in hand.


This is my last sketch for the Hunt. Number 5, school - I sketched the Bastrop Medical Clinic as a substitute. Grocery store was on the list, too, but I didn't remember while Gene was in the grocery store. Ah, me. About 10 minutes with a Micron 05 pen in the small 4 x 6 Reflexions Sketchbook I carry in my purse. (Thank you, Sue, for the handy sketchbook.)

I did a couple of wipe off paintings with my new oil paints. First some hollyhocks .. they looked like roses, my live in critic said. I should have taken a snapshot of the last one. I painted a little dancer in a Mexican outfit. Her face was so cute, but the painting lacked excitement or something. Back to the drawing board, uh, painting easel. :)

It is on with paperwork, which now is computer work, right? Updating inventory, newsletters, ads, mailing lists, personal bookkeeping and more. Maybe I will paint in between!

10 minutes with a non-erasable pen? Oh, brave soul that you are!

Teresa, thanks. If I erased, I would never get a sketch done. I am too wishy washy and would change ever line several times. :)
