Yesterday found me sketching on my iPad while watching TV. I used the app, Brushes, and my fingers and Apple pencil. I like trying the digital sketching once in a while. Because I don't do it often, it usually takes longer than when I use a pen or pastels.
For Scavenger Hunt 54 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-54-jan-18%E2%80%9326-2023.5063/
Number 4, stack of books - on the coffee table. The top spiral book is Gene's journal from our summer in 2004. Joanna printed it from his blog for a dear friend. He passed away and the book was returned to us. So nice. It was a job of love for Joanna to edit and fit the blog and photos into printable pages. That took a while!
There is a photo album and actually a coffee table book on the bottom ... at least I think there is. I left out another pile of books next to that one!
I finished an Acrostics puzzle book that Jennie gave me for Christmas 2 years ago. I received a replacement in my Santa gift from Brandon this year. Perfect timing, eh? He also gave me a shelf to organize my pens for art. I don't have many on there yet, but it is a start. Thanks, Brandon. Joanna put it together for me a few days ago. Thanks, Joanna.I'm still working on the Austin Pastel donations. It is interesting but takes a lot of time for about 6 weeks. I'm out of practice for organizing and having deadlines!
There is still time for you to enter the show, 2023 juried show, CELEBRATE PASTELS! The entry deadline is 11:59pm on Saturday, January 28. Info on the Austin Pastel Society page: https://www.austinpastelsociety.org

I like your shelf for organizing your pens. Mine are just stuffed in plastic take-out containers. lol How nice that Joanna made a book from Gene's journal. That must have taken a long time to do. It is nice that it was returned to you.
Joan, the shelf is nice. I have different sets of different sizes or colors that are together that aren't on the shelf. I guess I'll keep them that way. Not sure. I usually take one of those when I go out.
Joanna is a super daughter!
Jo your digital art is super. I have never explored working with this medium. Adore your shelf for your pens. Such a great place to organize art supplies. Hope you are enjoying Jan. Hugs!
Debbie, thank you. I started sketching on Gene's first iPhone years ago. For the Hunt's I try not to use the "undo" very much so they stay a sketch. An artist can really get into detail - pixel by pixel. I'm a lazy sketcher.
That little shelf looks like a small version of what people have in their entry-ways or laundry rooms. It looks like it is quite handy. I could use some organizers :)
bag blog, that would be a good style for a closet. I still have lots of room in it, haven't added any more writing tools. Soon.....
