Quiet Sketch Time

It was quiet here after the kiddos left.  They didn't stay in our house but we traveled back and forth and stayed very busy with them.  Three great grandkids from 3 to 6 years old around gets noisy!  It was great to see them.

Scavenger Hunt 70 is under way.  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-70-may-26-x-june-3.5509/


Number 1 toilet paper holder - a couple, both in bronze finish.



Number 2 free space - my new gift pillow from the greats.  It is soft and fluffy and about half as big as a bed pillow.  

These are in a Canson Mix Media sketchbook with the Acurit .30 pen and watercolors.

I sketched the toilet paper holders then sat at my chair and footstool and watched some baseball at the Big 12 Tournament.  The Longhorns are out of the tournament but will be going to a Regional on the road to the College World Series in Omaha.  It is not an easy thing to do.  Every player has to have their A game on.  Sometimes a player that hasn't done well all year will put on a spectacular performance when called upon in a close situation.  Always fun.
