Looking through the list of items: seasonal, texture, candle, hot, cold, etc. I seem to find the easiest and most handy to sketch. I haven't been excited to sketch lately. You know the less you do the less you want to do. Sometimes I sketch when we have the TV on. It depends on what we are watching. Mysteries require attention, otherwise.....
But today out on the porch on a pretty cool morning considering our season of deep heat I found a few things. Lots of repeats, but new sketches for Scavenger Hunt from Life 82.

Number 1, bell - the little bell rescued from the second firing. It is black and off white, used to be red and green for Christmas.
Number 2, book - one of Gene's bird books
Number 3, candle - generic tapered red one
Number 4, texture - the wooden leg of the glider and the carpet
Number 5, growing - the poor geranium which is barely growing in this heat. The other is worse.
Number 6, seasonal - the rain gauge with temperature and no rain. Only 82º at 8:48 this morning, soon to be over 100º F.
College football starts today, so rootin' without much attention for New Mexico Lobos for Gene. They play the Texas Aggies, so not much chance of winning but still.... LSU Tigers for Brandon, Tennessee Volunteers for Carolyn and the Texas State Bobcats for Larry and the Texas Longhorns for the rest of us. Hook 'em Horns!! Geaux Tigers! Woof, woof Lobos! Etc......
****Note

The bird book belongs with the binoculars from the other day. lol You could be watching for the hummingbirds. For not being excited about sketching you did quite a lot.
I've been working on two projects, a commission of a marina and a portrait, so I haven't been doing too many sketched for the hunt.
Joan, ha. Thanks. The book and binoculars do go together! Good luck on the commissions, not always easy. You do more for the Hunts than most of us. :-)
Good quick sketches Jo
ashok, thank you so much. I love your little videos of your paintings.
