Yep, same old, same old. Sketching on the porch before it gets to the sweltering temperature today. I used a Micron 08, I liked the thickness and fuzziness of the pen. This is in the BookFactory sketchbook. Probably about 30 minutes while I had my coffee and a loaded rice cake.
For Scavenger Hunt 77

The Hunt has the challenge of putting all 26 items in one sketch. Not easy to accomplish. I did do it twice.

I hope to do it again. It will have some of the same items as I don't have many silver or copper things, etc. A couple of plants now and zero flowers at the moment. Looks like the geranium may get a bloom so I'll watch for that.
Come play along!
Oh, it is National Day of the Cowboy.
You can read about my dad here. He was one of the last working cowboys for room and board.

I love your sketches Jo, especially those of McKinley's paintings in the previous post.
I thought I commented on this yesterday but maybe I didn't. I like the stories about your dad. He seems like he was a well rounded individual...and a great cook. Nice memories!
John, thanks so much. It was interesting sketching from a painting. I might do that again.
Joan, thank you. You did post on the old post. :-) I had a delay in posting your comments and answering. My dad was a character for sure.
