Sketching for Hunt 191 and More Raccoon Photos

It is hard to believe I have been Scavenger Hunting since July of 2006.  This is a link to the second Hunt when I started, wow.  This is the link to the first Hunting sketch in my blog.  Hard to believe we have been going for so long.  Jeanne Grant and I are the steady ones from then.  Jamie Williams Grossman started the lists, Hunt #1,  and she still drops in once in a while, too.  It has been fun and it has kept me sketching.

Number 6, spiral - the end of a cork screw here in the condo.  This is the challenge of sketching with dry media, pastel pencils for me.

Also number 6, spiral - in wet media, watercolors.

These are both done on a scrap of watercolor paper, so the pastel is pretty rough.  I did both with no pre-sketching in pencil, that was interesting with the watercolor.  Just about 10 minutes for both.

Sunset when we went to dinner.

Wild roses along the way by the sidewalk.

We forgot to put away the hummingbird feeder and the raccoons were visiting.  Mom had almost finished the liquid.  A baby trying to hide from me.

They started up to the next level and changed their minds.

Then started back.  Shall we stay or shall we go?

Let's just get the heck outta here, we know when we are not welcome.

I couldn't see them after they went down, maybe they scooted off the first floor deck to the far side.  I didn't see them out in the courtyard.  They are sure not afraid of us.  They were hissing though and I was careful not to corner them.
