Hunting 190 Sketches and Photos

Don't forget about Arts About Town on Saturday.  See the sidebar.

I finally got some sketching done yesterday and this morning.  I sketched with just a regular ball point pen, Pilot, in my large sketchbook.  All sketches are freehand and done as quickly as possible.  I like to sketch with ink so that I am not tempted to erase.  For you new folks you can click on sketches down at the bottom of my posts.  I have been sketching in the Scavenger Hunts almost since the beginning.  These sketches are for Hunt #190.  Wow, lots of sketches.

Number 1, wall decoration - a wooden and wire wall hanging. Number 2, door decoration - a couple of horse shoes over the front door.  Number 3, treat food - a little chocolate (you know me).

Number 4, seat - Gene's bicycle seat.  Number 5 and 6, handmade - by me, the painting, by someone else, the pot. Number 7, holds stuff - a nylon net grocery bag from Bolivia, so old and used umpteen times for many different things.

Number 8, typical breakfast - my coffee and a rice cake with peanut butter, cream cheese and raisins.  I have sketched this cup many times.  I have brought it to New Mexico for a few years, a gift from Jennie.

We went to Santa Fe yesterday to get some new tires on the Explorer.  We planned on eating at Maria's, but they didn't open for dinner until 5 p.m. so we ate dinner in Taos at El Taoseño.  Not as good, just average New Mexican food.  I'll share a few photos.  I have posted many along this route.  You can click on the slide show on my sidebar to the right to get to my Picasa and many photos from New Mexico.

I like this sign with the heart made of chili peppers.
