Double Duty Sketches

Oh, should be out doing plein air painting or sketching....

But, sketched at the dining table quickly as I could.  About 10 minutes in the BookFactory Sketchbook with the Micron 03.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 87  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-87-oct-9-oct-17.6110/

Number 5 from the fridge - A jar of New Mexico green chile.  It is pretty good, not as good as fresh chile but when you don't have fresh or frozen it hits the spot.

This sketch doubles for Inktober Day 12 - spicey  (from their list spelling, my computer says it should be spicy.  Hmmm.)

I like it when a sketch does double duty.

I follow Laurie Pace's blog and today I like the painting and story......  She paints a lot of horses, sort of abstract but I like horses and her colorful style.  Not a horse today.

I listen to this podcast once in a while.  When I was trying to sell a lot and networking, etc., I listened more often.  I haven't listened to this yet, but I think the question of prices comes up so often so this is my next listen.

We went for our check up with Dr. Chavez after all our tests a couple of weeks ago.  We both had good results!  Yay!  When we got back in the car I had the radio on country KVET 98.1, I Heart Radio.  They broadcast some of the Longhorn Baseball games.  It made me wonder if they still play the National Anthem and The Eyes of Texas at noon, so I checked in on-line when we got home and .... they still do!  Made me happy to find some still patriotic folks that aren't afraid to say so!

 Which reminded me of the Ragged Old Flag by Johnny Cash song.

Ok, I'll leave you alone, now.

Glad you are finding items that do double duty.

Glad to hear you had good results from your medical tests. That is always a relief.

R's Rue, thanks so much.


Joan, always good when sketches can be used more than once. Yes, nice our checkups were good, most things good for 6 months. Some 3 months. :-)
