New Hunt 35

You can always count on a new Scavenger Hunt from Life.  We put up a new list every 9 days with 26 everyday items that you can find around your house or area.  We have sketchers from all over and we learn from them and about their area.

We've been "Hunting" since 2006.  You have definitely seen most of our stuff.

Today I sketched in the living room on my footstool in the regular paper Canson sketchbook.  I'm not sure where I got this bigger book but started it in January 2014.  It is almost full.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 35

Number 1, banjo - I substituted my ukulele.  It was a gift a few years ago from Brandon for Christmas.  I just can't fit my fingers and get comfortable to practice.  My soft fingers cover more than one string.  I'm told I need to practice and get calluses.  That's not going to happen.  I haven's decided on disposition so still around for sketching.  The case is black and the strap is very colorful.  The uke is light colored wood.

We had the A/C folks in today for the summer checkup.  A little late, but all in order.  Good thing as the temps are still 100+ degrees every day and no rain.  There have been some small fires in the area.  Many fires all over Texas and west.  Not good.  Then flooding, mostly flash floods in Arizona and New Mexico.  Can't win for losing as the old saying goes.

Nice job on the uke. It is fires or flooding...can't we find a way to bring the water where it is needed?

Joan, thanks. Yep, always uneven. Guess If we could control the weather it would be great. :-)

My youngest grandson, Jethro, has a ukelele. He can't play it either, but he gives it a go now and then. I am surprised the dog doesn't howl. In one of our art shows last year someone brought in a guitar with a very colorful strap. It was the strap that was the art - very colorful. Maybe you should do a pastel of your uke and strap.

bag blog, thanks. Joanna went to a concert with a ukulele person. She said he is great. I'll find the name. There are some great lessons on youTube for playing. I think your idea for a painting is a great use for mine!
