It's that time when "The faster I go, the behinder I get....". This seems to be from Alice in Wonderland, some say it is "The hurrier I go... Wherever it is from, it fits me today and when looking it up I found it fits a lot of people. It is quoted on many blogs.
I posted my sketch from day before yesterday today. Hunt 659 ended yesterday. Behind again.
Number 12 seasonal - 'tis the season for tamales
Sketched in the big book with the Micron 02
Number 2, box - also a gift from Mary, yummy nuts and fruit. Not opening until the family arrives next week or it will disappear before they get to try it. Thanks, Mary.
I do not particularly like painting from photos but found this article and it makes some good points. I liked what it said for Larry our photographer, too. Photography can be a good tool for artists. Read Gurney's post. (nude in painting) He has an interesting blog that I follow. Lots of advice for artists.

Check out Larry's website and Instagram. Pretty cool stuff. He can help you with your photography!

great sketches :) the quote isnt from alice, not in any of the copies I have
Jennifer Rose, thank you so much! Happy to see you here. Yes, I'm not sure about the quote. There seems to be speculation with no definite answer. But, it is me for sure.It is like the one, "If you don't take time to do something right, what makes you think you have time to do it over?"
The hunts seem to be ending very quickly lately. I used to be able to finish all the items at one time, but haven't done that in a very long time. Glad you were able to catch up and do a few items from each hunt.
Joan, yes the time flies by on the Hunts. I've only finished all 26 items a few times. I usually get 10 - 15 done at most. I sure feel guilty if I don't do any!
I love the sketches. You know that I mostly paint from photos, but I do like to get out in the air sometimes - like when I am with you. Now I am off to check out the links.
Bag Blog, thank you so much. I like sketching from life as well. It is a bonus to paint with you! Must do it soon. Maybe we will get some Indian summer and we can come up.
