Hunting for 397 in Ink and Calendar Notes

I started my sketches on my chair with my feet up, nice and comfy.  Then Gene said he was going on his Terratrike ride so I decided I could manage a short sketching walk.  I tried to get all the outdoor objects done.   I was gone about an hour, but I imagine the walking part was about twenty minutes only.  I added the color with pencils on the jacket and Microns on the others.  The results are for Scavenger Hunt 397 http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20415037&posted=1#post20415037

Number 3, jacket
Number 4, cow -- no cows on my walk so this neighborhood paint horse will be a good substitute.

Number 5, dog - this dog barks and barks.  He got tired of standing and sat down to bark at me.  He is not inside a fence but doesn't come out.  Maybe it is an electric fence.  I will look at his collar better next time I see him.
Number 6, landscape - out pond from a different viewpoint.

Number 7, sign - oops I misspelled trespassing.  Besides that, I rested my sketchbook on a mailbox to sketch and got pine sap on the page I turned over.  Luckily I had turned an extra page so I just tore it out.  Ah, the perils of plein air painting. 

There are a few things going on that you might want to mark on your calendar if you live in our area.

I think you can read this but in case, The Art in Public Places organization has installed sculptures around downtown for a year.  I think most of them are for sale.  The opening reception and awards is Sunday, March 22 at Fellowship Hall, First United Methodist Church, 1201 Main Street, 3 - 5 p.m.
