Sketching for the Hunts has kept me going. As I have said many times, sketching for me is like homework. I try to sketch freehand with a goal of placing lines just once. You can tell when I am not paying attention or very interested in the item. Usually if it is more difficult, I concentrate more. Not always, though!
I sketched day before yesterday, yesterday and today. Only three more items to go, do you think I will finish? I only remember finishing all the items once before.
Number 22, rug. The yellow part is actually beige, should have used the paper color, duh. I used the Prismacolor markers and a Tombow Dual Brush pen. They have a brush on one end and a point on the other. Number 23, in a drawer - with a Prismacolor 005 pen/marker. The lines are very fine so it doesn't show as much.
For the artist today, Margie Crisp from Elgin, Texas (just down the road) has created a book about the Colorado River in Texas. It will be published in April. You can contact Margie through her website for more information. You can read about it on the Texas A & M University Press page.

The book looks kind of interesting. I have to admit that I never really thought about the Colorado River much until someone asked me how we could have a Colorado River when the "real" Colorado River goes through the Grand Canyon. Umm... :-)
Joanna, I had never thought about the name of the river until someone from back east, maybe Billie, asked me about it. I wonder. Maybe it was originally the "Little Colorado" and Texas couldn't stand for that description!
