Complex and Oval

Items on the Scavenger Hunt list were complex shape and oval.  I fix hard boiled eggs for Gene and to keep them separate from the  raw eggs I put them in a half carton.  That would cover those two items.  I sketched on the footstool in the living room and had Jeopardy! on.  These are in the 9 x 12 sketchbook with regular paper and done with a Zig Millennium 05.


Number 4 complex shape - egg carton
Number 5 oval - egg or at least it is supposed to be.  Not as noticeable in real life, right?

 

I was a participant in a great site for learning, even had a lesson posted there.  They have changed and it is more or less an on line school now.  I subscribed to their newsletter and I get free lessons once a month.  Check out Drawspace.  The classes are very reasonable and could be used for teaching.  They are user friendly and helpful.

Guess what?  We don't have any doctor's appointments for more than a week I think.  I decided to do some exercise and sketch.  Gene rode his trike so we didn't walk.  That is a better start to the day than driving to Austin in the car.

Good job on the egg carton. They are definitely hard to draw!

Glad to hear you had a break from doctor's visits and were able to do some regular, fun things.

Good sketch study of an egg carton

ashok, nice to "see" you. Thank you so much. I enjoy your blog and learning about your world.

Joan, thanks. Eggs always seem like they should be so easy. They are not. Ha. Yep, hopefully our world will even out with only monthly dr. visits. It is going to be awfully hot here and not easy to get out in the heat.

Years ago we had quite a few laying hens and getting lots of eggs. I had boiled about 4 eggs and set them in the fridge for future use. A friend was going to a family reunion and wanted a couple dozen eggs. Jesse gathered all the eggs and put them in cartons for him. She also grabbed the boiled eggs, not knowing they were boiled. Our friend told the funniest story of trying to crack eggs for breakfast and finding them hard boiled.

bag blog, my laugh for today. Thanks so much. That is exactly why I cut the carton so we know the small one is hard boiled.
