Last Day .. Sketching

Well, it is the last day for my gallery and the last day for Scavenger Hunt 216.  That is a lot of Hunts and sketches.  If I averaged 2 sketches a hunt it would be 400+ but I imagine I averaged 4.  Pretty cool.

Has sketching helped?  In many ways:

• I sketch more often
• I sketch faster
• Thumbnails for paintings are easier and I use them more
• I am more accurate, when I try.  :-)
• I have made many new friends on wetcanvas.com
• I have something to post on a regular basis
• My sketching (homework) has become a habit and not a chore -- almost fun!

And the list can go on.

Here are my last ones for this Hunt.

Number 1, a fist and Number 2, favorite shoes

Number 3, lamp that is on and Number 4, coiled rope - this is a substitute, the cord on the blood pressure cuff., in the new small sketchbook.

My new sketchbooks

The big sketchbook has brown paper, sort of like a paper bag.  Should be interesting.  I filled my last small sketchbook that goes in my purse, so this is the replacement.  I like the pen holder on it.  We will see how the new sketching goes.  I can't believe that I finally fill up sketchbooks.  They used to last several years!

As for the gallery, I will go down and spend the afternoon.  Lester Sensat will pick up his paintings and I will pack away my paintings and bring them home.  I have a shelf and a couple of tables left there to bring as well.  As I said, it is a happy/sad occasion.

And what will I do tomorrow??  You will have to come back and see.  A clue .. UT Baseball is in season!  Maybe there will be items on the next Scavenger Hunt that fit something at the baseball stadium.  Hmmmm.
