Chair on iPhone


We went to dinner at Zeb's last night.  One of the items on Scavenger Hunt 552 was 'chair'.    I saw a wheel chair and decided to do a quick sketch on my iPhone.  Gene mentioned to the family that I was sketching the chair so they wanted to see the finished sketch.  Hopefully they will realize it was a sketch and not a drawing.  It takes much longer to sketch on the iPhone.  Too bad I wasn't sketching in a sketchbook.



 Number 9, chair - an antique wheel belonging to Jannell.

We drove to Eagle Nest first where I snapped some photos of the horses that were out in the evening sun.  When we got home, Brandon and Gene visited on the phone and Brandon asked if there was smoke from the California fires.  We said no, and then when I looked at these photos I realized it was not foggy it was smoke.  Our eyes have been bothering us, but we hadn't realized why.  The air is thin here and now has smoke so we may have a reason to be a bit tired, too.

I want to do one more sketch for this Hunt which ends today.  I'll leave it for a surprise....

I like the sketch of the wheelchair. It is amazing how far the effects of the fires can go.

Jo Castillo said...

Jennifer Rose, hard to know if we are tired from lack of air or just old. Sigh..... :-)

Jo Castillo said...

Thanks, Joan. The lady was so sweet. Haven't heard back yet.

I have seen some posts on FB concerning the CA fires and the air quality. I have also been following the Amalia, NM drama since the Taos County Sheriff is a friend of mine.


You and Gene take it easy in the haze and the rain.

Jo Castillo said...

Yes, we noticed haze all the way to Dumas in Texas. You are bound to be getting some, too. The rain showers seem to help a bit.
