Happy Veterans Day! with a Grating Sketch

A big thanks and round of applause to Gene, David and all the other Veterans out there.  They deserve a lot of credit and support.

Welcome Home
Pastel, 9 x 12 inches

Well, my sketch could be grating.  The items were grater and something you like to eat when you are ravenous.  We could grate that cheese.

This is in the big  book as I get back into a routine without a deadline.  I sketched with a ZIG Millenium with blue ink just to break the monotony. 

Number 6, oven (Dutch) - this Dutch oven belonged to Gene's mom.  It needs to be seasoned so I can use it.
Number 7, grater - a couple of them
Number 8, ravenous or what you would eat if you were very hungry.  Could be cheese or whatever is at hand.

Our last few warm days are going to be memories for a while.  We sat on the porch this morning and now it is about 50 degrees out and has rained some.

Thank Gene and David for their service from me! It has been a long time since we had anyone in our family in the military, but my sister, Michelle's grandson is now in the Marines...training in explosives. I posted his photo on FB yesterday.

Nice blue sketches. I haven't gotten into this hunt yet...too many other things going on. Maybe I will get around to doing a few. We'll see.
