Sketches for Hunt 205

I sketched for Scavenger Hunt 205.  Have to try to do a little as I am the host.  :)  These are with a Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen, size F.  Freehand in my regular sketchbook that is about 7 x 9 inches, each a whole page.

Number 3, furry.  This is the monkey that was on my keyboard on Christmas morning.




Number 4, something in a corner.  The checkbook boxes, papers, CDs and junk on my desk.



I didn't accomplish much today.  I did a little planning for a painting I hope to start tomorrow at the studio/gallery.  It has been cold -- for us here in central Texas.  Not for you up north.  Ha.  I hope it is warm enough to have the door open at the gallery tomorrow.  It is so much more inviting for people to walk in.

I started a 7 x 5 inch pastel, one of the little Jo's Notions last week and need to finish it as well.  It is grapes in a silver-ish bowl.  I liked the grapes, but not the shadows.

I'm always behind! I thought of you over Christmas. We had the most delicious blueberries (from Chile). I always think of you when I eat blueberries now. :)
