Sketch Hunting for #423

Interesting day today.  It was so nice this morning.  We had our snacks, coffee and checked e-mail, etc.  Then we went for a short walk.  About thirty minutes.  There are about 5 new houses in our neighborhood either finished or almost finished.  We weren't gone to New Mexico that long were we??

When we got back from our walk,  I checked blogs and wetcanvas.  I decided to sketch here at my computer desk.  I could see several items or substitutes from here, or part of them.  I sketched in the large sketchbook with a Pilot ball point pen.  The pen is for writing, but makes nice lines and usually does not leak or leave globs or fuzz on the paper.  I use this brand in my sketchbooks for the car and purse.

Number 1, furniture - the umbrella stand used for Gene's cane collection.
Number 2, decoration - the wall hanging David made for me.  The fleur de lis on it are very pretty and cast beautiful shadows on the wall.  I could not depict that in the small space I was using.
Number 3, curtain - substituted the shutters on the window
Number 4, lamp - substituted the ceiling light

My iTunes is playing the La-la Song.  That is what Jennie called it when Joanna practiced on the piano in Bolivia.  It is Beethoven's Fur Elise in A Minor.  The version playing is on a guitar on an album called Guitar Classics, who knew it was a guitar classic?

There is a great underpainting article on Richard McKinley's blog with some exercises to try.  Maybe I will do them.  Sure......  It is such a good idea to practice.  It might get me to paint.  Hmmm.
