Happy Valentine's Day

 Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you have a great one filled with love, not necessarily sweetheart love.

We had an animal Valentine's morning!  I got a talking doggie and Gene got a bear with candy.  New stuff for me to sketch!  Always fun.  Gotta love my Valentine!


Yesterday was gorgeous so I walked when Gene rode his trike.  I went to the first westerly bench and sketched in the Ohuhu sketchbook with a Micron 03 and watercolors with the waterbrushes.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 102  

Number 13 Freespace - some of the Loblolly trees.  They of course are tall and go off the page.  I didn't crop that well to show that.

Watercolors are more friendly to me when I sketch with ink first.  That is OK, I like seeing them together.

Happy Valentine's Day!! I like your gifts to each other. I have flowers from Jerry and he wanted to get me candy, but I said no. I always give up chocolate for Lent and today was Ash Wednesday. I couldn't have candy and then not be able to eat it. lol

The trees are great. I really like the look of ink and watercolor and have a hard time not adding it to a lot of my sketches. Nice job!

Joan, Nice. I haven't given up anything for lent since I was a kid. Good for you. We bought candy to take to the doctor's office today and forgot to take it. Guess we will have to eat it, we won't be back for 4 months. Ha. Thank you on my watercolor effort.
