I visit the plein air, pastel and southwest art the most. When I have time, I explore the other forums as well.
The Hunts have been good for me. They keep me sketching and I have made internet friends around the world. We volunteer to be hosts and pick 26 everyday items from in and around our houses. It is fun to see the mailboxes, telephones, skylines and more from different places.
Here is the list for this week. Maybe it will entice you to join us. You sketch from life and can do as many as you want. You can post them and comment or not as you like.

I sketched this morning with a Micron 05 pen. I thought I had my new pen, but it turns out to be an old one that was about out of ink so my images are a bit faint.....
Number 1, evergreen and Number 2, hearth or heater. Our electric fireplace, which we are really liking.
And there is the real thing! We have just about got the house in order now. It is pretty full of furniture. We just keep noticing little things. When we went to the first baseball game, Gene didn't have his radio to listen in the stands. We didn't have our cushions. Joanna gave us hers, but we are one short! I went to sew on my new sewing machine and I didn't have a cloth tape measure or straight pins. Just those little things that we always have on hand. Sigh......

The house is looking good. I expect you will notice lots of missing things as the year goes by. It doesn't take long to load up on things, though. We just cleaned out the storage unit, and I'm horrified at all my junk.
Nice sketch, Jo! If I had time this weekend, I'd try to join you in sketching. Your house looks wonderful and so comfortable!
Thanks, Regina. We will get together to paint soon I hope. The house is great and has some lovely art work a la Regina!
Bag Blog, ain't,t it the truth! We Are already well on our way to filling this one. Ah,well, we might as well enjoy while we can.
As always, your sketches are amazing! So happy to hear your house is furnished and now "home"! The fireplace is beautiful! One doesn't think about the little things we take for granted until they aren't there when we reach for them! Great you are hosting this Scavenger Hunt - will try and check out the entries!
Rosemary, nice to see you. Thanks so much. We are really enjoying the house. You are always welcome to join the Hunts.
The house is definitely your "home" now. It looks fantastic!

Judi, thank you. You will have to come out. We need to have our house warming soon.
Tape measure! Straight pins! Heh. Hard to believe all the things you just take for granted. although, I don't think I have either of those things on hand.
Yes, Joanna. Think of things every day. Like the martini glass for your dad. He bought all the fixin's and didn't have a glass. Sigh....
