A few days of sketching so a mixed bag for your perusal. We went to Gene's eye checkup and I sketched there. These are in the travel sketchbook with the Acurit 3, quickly as you never know when they will call your name. In fact the man I was sketching was called and I had to finish from memory. He is a little top heavy. :-)
Number 4 lamp - pretty sure I've sketched this before
Today we walked around the lakes. I took the Ohuhu sketchbook and a Micron 03. I was going to put watercolor when we got home, but I like the landscape as is, so left the other in black and white as well.
Number 6 cat - no cats in my world so substituting a far distant egret. We were looking across the lake at the bench and bird. The water should be up near the bench. We do need rain.
An interesting article about plein air painting from Plein Air Today. It talks about being prepared, taking your time knowing you can finish later.

I like your landscape with the arching branch.
It is fun to try to capture a person while they are waiting. You never know how long they will be there.
I enjoyed reading the article and seeing her plein air paintings from when she started and now...quite a difference.
