I just realized I never posted this blog post. Better late than never. The party was on January 16. Sigh....
I started one of the new sketchbooks I got for Christmas. It is a Canson, Universal Sketch with 9 x 12 inch perforated pages. Recommended for pencil, pastel, pen and ink. Not for watercolor or acrylic. It has a nice feel to the paper, very smooth. I used the Prismacolor Premier 03 fine line marker/pen.
For Scavenger Hunt #344: Number 3, curtain and Number 4, room. The corner of the living room all out of proportion. Sigh. Well, it was about 11 p.m. when I was sketching. Excuses, excuses..... (you can click on the photos to make them larger)
Number 5, evergreen - part of the tree out the window in the above sketch. Number 6, art. These were done earlier this morning.
I was sketching late as we went to the Byrd and Street CD release party. It was at Threadgill's south so we had a good meal with Joanna and enjoyed the show very much. I really like the new CD. Tommy is a great songwriter. Kathy has a sweet voice and they were joined by Don Raby on a 5 string fiddle and Chip Dolan on keyboard piano and accordian. It was a super evening!
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

I think a trip to Austin this spring would be fun. Your talk of music and Threadgill's makes me long for the Hill Country.
Bag Blog, we hope you get to Austin with time to go see some music. Looking forward to it!!
Your complaints about proportion made me smile. :-)
The Byrd and Street show was lots of fun.
Joanna, smiles are always good.
Byrd and Street put on a good show and are all around good people, too.
