Flower, Tree, Shrub Watercolor

Items on the Hunts are regular every day items.  Today I liked "flower" and "tree or shrub".  Mainly because I could sketch on the porch while drinking my coffee.  For flower it was the bedraggled geranium.  The only other flowers in my world are the wildflowers or artificial ones and I don't even have many of those.  While sketching the geranium, I could put in the big tree and the hedge in the corner. So there you are then.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 115

Number 5 - flower and Number 6 - tree or shrub.  Sketched in the Ohuhu mix media sketchbook with a Micron 03 and watercolor.

 

Interesting blog post by Kathy A. Johnson about feeling anxious.

Baseball note:

I watched the late game of the Big 12 Tournament.   Oklahoma State and University of Central Florida last night on TV.   UCF won 6-5 in 10 innings. I was up until 130 am or later.

Today’s games are odd.  Double headers for the winners of games 1 and 3.  Kansas and TCU play at 900 am. The winner plays Oklahoma at 1230 noon.  The winner of that plays in the championship game tomorrow at 600 pm

Texas Tech and Oklahoma State play at 4pm. The winner plays UCF at 730 pm .  Winner in championship tomorrow. 

Who knows why I watched?  I'm curious I guess about who ends up winning without the Longhorns there.  College games can go any way at any time.  In the first game today Kansas made 9 runs in the first inning and the score was Kansas 9 and TCU 10 in the 5th inning.  I will have to check and see who won.
