Quick Sketches and Sunrise

Just a quick sketch or two.  Scavenger Hunt 296 finishes tomorrow and I will be the host of #297.  I thought I had better get something done for this one.

Joanna gave me some new Pentel Arts Color Pen, Fine Point Color Markers for Christmas.  That is a mouthful, eh?  Anyway, there are 36 colors so I tried them out in my brown paper sketchbook.  Pretty cool.  I guess I used about 8 colors.  Thanks, Joanna.

Number 1, arm - Gene's arm on the recliner.  Number 2, pretty - my new measuring cups.  They were a gift from and made by Lea, at Blue Donkey Gallery.  Pottery, white with bluebonnets and blue outside.  They are pretty and useful.  Thanks, Lea.

And the sunrise this morning, about 6:45 or so.  I posted it on facebook for Roger and my other sunrise/sunset fans.  :)  Photos of sunsets, sunrises and rainbows were my mom's favorite subject for her photos.

Glad to see you got some sketches done. I love the story below about your mom's Christmas cactus. It is wonderful how it reached so far and then cycled back to you again.

Wishing you and Gene a Happy New Year! Have a wonderful 2013!
