Odd Outline Sketch

This is the last day of Hunt 87.  I looked for something on my desk to finish up the Hunt.  One of the items was "has an odd outline".  There it was - a hole punch.

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


Number 11 has an odd outline - hole punch in the BookFactory sketchbook with a Micron 02 pen.


Rant below, not art..... I don't expect comments.

I don't read blogs to see political ranting so sorry for my readers, but I want people to know where I stand.  Silence may signal acceptance of evil.

I'm not sketching the prompt for Inktober.  The prompt is demon.  I don't care to draw that.  A few years back on wetcanvas one of the threads was sketching bad guys and robbers from the wild west.  I didn't do that either.  I don't care to glamorize bad folks. 

We have some very bad folks in our world at this time.  The terrorists, Hamas, Hezbollah, Isis and others, are demons enough. I'm amazed that people can't see that their purpose is to kill Jews and Americans. The government of Iran backs and funds them.  I have empathy for the everyday people but the terrorists have to be stopped.  

I also can't see that our politicians in Washington are not concerned about the open border in our own country.  I'm sure the terrorists and gangs are waltzing in to the United States via our southern border.  Any country is not safe and secure without a closed border.  We welcome immigrants that want to be Americans.  Our country was founded by immigrants.  Illegal immigrants are not the same.  We need to take care of our citizens first.

We need to support law and order in our country.  We need to believe in the Constitution.  That is the basis for freedom. 

Thanks as always to our service men, police, and first responders.  God bless America.

The hole punch is an odd shape for sure.

One of the reasons I don’t follow the promos is that some of them are not things I have a desire to sketch. I agree that there is already too much evil and we don’t need to glorify it more.

Nice piece. I like the cups too.

Joan, thanks so much. I like sketching challenges. I skip the ones I don't like. :-) Sometimes sub something opposite.

Stay safe, I have so enjoyed your trip and look forward to your sketches.

We are staying positive as we can. We keep smiling. Hugs.

Hi Helen, I finally remembered to check the comment folder. I wonder why I don't get an email for yours. Hmmm. Anyway, thanks so much. I do like sketching and painting from life as opposed to photos.
