Soft Toy and Iron

Sometimes the items on a Scavenger Hunt list just seem to go together for a little still life arrangement.  This makes it easy to combine several items into one sketch.  I don't think these items go together but they fit for this sketch.  I worked from top down and evidently started the leaning left thing and got the bottom of the Dutch oven too long and too flat.  Sad, I know.

For Scavenger Hunt From Life Number 4
Number 8  soft toy - from Gene
Number 9  can - HEB pepper can, you don't see many metal spice cans anymore
Number 10  favorite artistic tool - the Micron 02 at least for the day
Number 11  made of iron - a Dutch oven that belonged to my mother-in-law Frances

These were sketched in the big book with a Sharpie Pen.

Maybe I could correct it by puting a black table underneath....

Correcting in Photoshop looks like this.  That would help a little.  Maybe I will do that.  I could use a Brush or Chisel pen.  I will check that out.  Especially since it is the last sketch in the big coffee table book. (More about that later.)

I feel so sorry for the families in Kentucky and midwest with the horrible storms.  We know too well that it will take years for the communities to recover.  We often think of "things" we don't have anymore and see things that survived the fire like the Dutch oven in the sketch.  It was in the kitchen stove oven in the fire, I think.  You can read posts on my blog starting here.  https://jocastilloartblog.blogspot.com/search?q=bastrop+fire

Thankfully we only lost things.  My heart breaks for the families that lost their loved ones, too.
