Numbers Sketches

The numbering of sketches goes well when all the sketches are consecutively drawn in the big book.  When the medium and surface wander, the numbers seem to get out of order.  I will blame old age and go from there.  I could look them all up and count .. but not necessary.  It is a rare Hunt that all 26 items get sketched.

So for Scavenger Hunt 687 ...


Number 7 or 8 - view in front of you.  In the big book with a Lamy pen.  Artistic license to leave out some of the items. 
 
Number 8 or 9 - hanging.  In the big book out on the porch.  I used Zig Millenneum 05 pens.  The same old geranium plant.  I put in a bit of the shed so that can be and extra building to go along with the Washateria.
 
This is the second summer we are spending in Bastrop.  It is hot and muggy  ... the reason we always headed north and to the mountains.  Luckily we do not have to work outside.  Is that a good part of getting old?  Hmmm.

It does seem strange that you are not traveling this year. Do you miss it? I haven't left Long Island since the start of Covid and it seems so strange. I haven't seen family and only a few friends that aren't really local. Maybe now that I can drive comfortably I can get over to visit my sister, Michelle in NJ some time soon.

Jennifer Rose, Hi there. Yes, I am supposed to number the sketches for the Scavenger Hunts. When I go digital and pastel or watercolor, I lose track. That is lazy as well. Are we related??

Joan, yes I miss traveling. I haven't liked the actual road trips the last few years, but love being in a new place to stay and out of our routine. Hope you get to see Michelle soon .. say hi for me. :-) I hope we can make a few overnight trips to get out of our day to day rut.
