Quick Sketches and note

Scavenger Hunt 145 is over on September 10, not much time. I drew these sketches with a Micron 05 pen in the 7 x 10 inch sketchbook. About 15 minutes total. It will take more time to post them here and on wetcanvas.com and I need to get to the packing. That is the way it goes. We are also supposed to do sketches from life, real things. The comic strip is from a "photo" in the paper, so shouldn't count. Make that a senior moment as Jeanne Grant said when she put up a sketch of Klinger's nose on the Hunt. :) Ah, well. At least, we are sketching.


Number 5, elevated - the dining room light fixture. Number 6 (or not), final - the last panel in the Pearls Before Swine comic strip today.

EP on the Hunts asked about Pearls Before Swine and I checked and I can embed it here! It is by Stephan Pastis. Fun. Except, in comparison, my pig is floating .... ha.

Pearls Before Swine


As I mentioned, we are leaving Angel Fire tomorrow so I decided to do a couple of quick sketches this morning in case I don't get anymore done for a few days. We are going to Albuquerque a week earlier than originally planned to check on Gene's Mom. She was in the hospital and was released today. She is 92 and her health is failing. She is an amazing person. I will do a separate blog about that.

No, your pig isn't floating... just the chandelier! :-) Sketch fast, pack fast. You're doing so great on sticking to your sketches. Hope all goes well on your trip.

My smile today, Regina. :) I imagine I will be sitting and waiting a lot, may be sketching.
