Another Scavenger Hunt gone. I got a few done this time. I think these are numbers 10 and 11. I didn't number them. I wasn't going to post them but changed my mind. You get the good, the bad and the ugly. Oh, and the quick....
These are in the Strathmore sketchbook with a Sharpie fine line pen. I thought I might add watercolor at home but was sidetracked and didn't do much of anything today. Maybe they were too small to inspire color.
For Scavenger Hunt from Life 89 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-89-oct-25-nov-2.6141/
Number 10 animal - they are very far away on the easterly pond. The bumps are turtles, there are two black ducks and an egret. Really.....
Number 11, outdoor item - the neighbor's house with a dock/steps down to the water.
At least I got in a little walk and some sunshine. The turtles and all were enjoying the sun after the last few nights of cold weather. It is warming up again and they don't know what to do. No fall color here either, the trees are in limbo.
From TxSwagger.com, A William Blakely quote to go with that: "Texas is neither southern nor western. Texas is Texas."
The sunset was beautiful tonight.
I sent this newsletter off to my friend, Jenifer, and thought it might be useful all around. It is from Streamline Art, Inside Art. I get more newsletters from them Plein Air, Pastel, Art Connoisseur, etc.

Great sunset! Glad you got out to walk and sketch a bit. We came home to colder temperatures...and frost this morning. lol Then we'll have to deal with the time change this weekend. (Venice changed last weekend.)
Joan, oh no, one time change and jet lag to boot is enough! Glad you are home safe and can get in a routine. Sorry for the cold!
Ha ha. Love the turtles. :-)
