Well - Look at that

I came to my computer to answer my email and look at that!  I forgot to post my sketch today.  It was a beautiful afternoon and I needed something "hanging" for the Scavenger Hunt (last day).  The bedraggled geranium called to me.

It demanded to be in color and I didn't feel like dragging out the pastels which would have been perfect.  I have a variety of new pink pastels to try.  In the end I got my iPad, the tool of least resistance or less equipment to drag to the porch.

#5 Hanging - the geranium sketched on my iPad with just plain scribble lines and no fancy brushes except for the background.  I used the app, Brushes, and the Apple Pencil.

The geranium is not only hanging from the bracket but it is hanging on. It survived! Yay!!

You always did great pastel geraniums. I hear ya on the not dragging out everything to the porch.

bag blog, Yep, I like painting geraniums and apples. Fall back items for the procrastinator in me.
