Hunting Sketches #140

A couple of sketches for Scavenger Hunt 140. There is one more day and I have done eight! Joan has finished them all. She usually does. Her watercolors are scattered in with pen sketches so a nice mixture. I like the watercolor/pen combination in her sketches.

Number 7, Jeans and Number 8, Lamp. The fellow across the way had his laundry out on his front porch. Sheets on the bottom, then towels, then jeans. Hmmm. We have always put up a clothesline to dry our sheets, but no room here. We didn't opt for the front porch. :) I sketched for about 20 minutes out on the front step in the sun. It was too cool in the shade. It was also windy, so I didn't go paint away from home. Gene biked somehow. Not easy in the wind.

I worked on my website for most of the day. It takes awhile for me writing my own html. I still have some archives to work on. Maybe today.



We had dinner at the Roasted Clove, a fine dining restaurant here. It was very good. The bread served before looked so much like maraquetas from Bolivia, which I loved. I tasted a small piece of the crust. Sigh..... I had a bison brisket enchilada with black beans w/ jalapeños and corn on the cobb and Gene had some pork medalions with mashed sweet potatoes and purple cabbage. He also had a house salad which had mixed greens with strawberries, melon and cheese (feta?) on it. Looked good. I took a photo of the candle, bread and wine, it might make a nice still life sometime.
