I sketched yesterday and today out on the porch. Lovely weather after the rainy cloudy days. It will be warm requiring a/c in the afternoon.
I sketched in the BookFactory sketchbook with a Micron 03. The red is a Micron 005.
Number 6 potato peeler - I couldn't decide which one so you have a trio
Number 7 stack of something - some potholders. Old fashioned ones like kids make on a frame, quilted and a couple of the new plastic sort of things. They are colorful which was on the list, too, but a sketch can only be for one item. They are red and blue of course.
Number 8 eye - Gene's eye with a patch on the other one. He wears the eye patch to cover his weak eye to not put so much stress on the good eye trying to focus for both. I put the "frame" around it to separate from the other sketch and it looks like he is looking in a rear view mirror in a car. Didn't think of that.

We are having a tail gate party of sorts for baseball today. It is the last home game and the last Big 12 game at Disch-Falk Field. Texas is joining the SEC. We decided it would be so crowded and hot so Joanna is coming and Larry is coming with the grand-dogs. He is dog sitting for Jennie and Brandon. Larry's team, the Bobcats, play at 1 pm and the Longhorns play at 2:30 pm. We will sit in the a/c and watch on TV!
The Thursday and Friday games were very exciting. The Longhorns won over the Kansas Jayhawks in walk-off fashion - both games. Very close games with a pitchers duel keeping the scores low. Not the usual plethora of home runs. The Horns need to win today to be seeded #2 in the tournament which starts Tuesday. Oklahoma is #1 in the conference. Number 1 and 2 seeds get Tuesday off and start on Wednesday. A big advantage to save pitching and stress. Hook 'em Horns!!
A longhorn pastel for no reason except I like it.

I like your trio of potato peelers. Your description of the sketch of Gene made me smile. Hope your teams did well. Sounds like a fun party. Love the "breakfast" sketch. :)
Joan, thanks. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for cows and calves. Gene is such a good sport/model for sketching.
The potato peelers are very nice - such detail. Toby went with me to the eye doctor this week. He asked if I was going to get to wear an eye patch. And then he acted disappointed when they said no eye patch.
I love your longhorn painting.
bag blog, ha. Hope you don't have to ever use an eye patch. Gene doesn't have depth perception! Thanks, I like sketching in ink.
