Sketches from the Porch

For Scavenger Hunt 379  http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1363111   I sketched out on the porch for these sketches the last two days.  Today I sketched in my studio.  I used a Micron 05 pen in the large sketchbook.  I sketch quickly and free hand.

Number 4, reflective - the window to the right looks into the living room.
Number 5, favorite art supply tool - a pen and should have mentioned the fingers, too.  :)

Number 6, metallic - I was doing the something from the list by memory and thought I remembered aluminum/shiny.  Well, the pan is metallic anyway.  Sigh.....
Number 7, something you like to wear - I must have been thinking of a completely different list because  I remembered knot and that is not on the list.  It is part of my favorite shoes, though.  Double sigh......

Number 8, round - the exercise ball that lives under my corner desk
Number 9, rectangle - the side of the storage box
Number 10, gift - a pair of multicolored socks bought for a friend
Number 11, keepsake - an aquamarine and white gold/platinum ring.  It didn't melt in the fire so maybe it is now a diamond!
Number 12, triangle - well, almost.  An arrowhead rescued from the fire, too.  Joanna found both of these things.  Thanks, Joanna!

The weather is so beautiful at the moment.  Morning temperatures have been around 60 degrees F.  Days are mid 80s for the most part.  I love this here as we can have the windows open until mid morning. I close up before it gets warm and we don't have to use the air conditioner.  Nice and quiet around here!
