Hunting Red, etc.


Scavenger Hunt 290 is about to end.  I don’t know how the days are flying by.  It does seem to be true that it flies faster when you get older, but I’m not ready!

I sketched out on the porch which may be the last early morning for a while as it was 46 degrees out there this morning and I am not ready for that either.

 
Number 8, favorite color -  red, after blue of course. I sketched Gene’s shop for the red. I really like red, white and blue together.
Number 9, something alive - the trees and grass

I sketched for the Southwest and Western Forum’s Quick Draw.  I usually don’t participate in this event as it is sketching from photos.  After sketching and painting from life, I have a difficult time with photos but since I love windmills,  I would try a quick one on the iPad.  I did it a bit too quickly, but it was fun.



Another sketch I did for Cole’s birthday card.  Ah, Cole is our grandson.



I will share a few photos, too.

The sunrise was beautiful.


A bit later the sky was lovely.


The trees are starting to change colors here and there.  It takes a special year to get beautiful fall colors here.  I think it gets cold too slowly and the trees get confused, starting to change, then stopping and starting.  This is a slow year.


And for my art link:


Bastrop, Texas, has an app for your iPhone or iPad available in the app store.   I couldn't make a link to it, but it is under Travel, Local apps. It has art, shopping, dining, events, music, etc.

For other smart phones here is a link, hope it works well:
