Remember Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day in the USA.
Thinking of our fallen Veterans on this day and thankful for their service and dedication and sacrifice that makes us free! Have a beautiful day and speak a name of one of ours. In our family, Neil Garrett in the Korean War.

 

I sketched for Hunt 115 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-115-may-19-may-27.6867/page-3


 Number 8 crunchy - an open jar of peanuts from  H-E-B.  I had some on my avocado toast this morning.  Done with the Brushes app and ApplePencil.

Check out this watercolor demonstration at the American Watercolor Society with John Salminen.  He is fun to watch with great tips on technique.  The ending is great.  It is about 40 minutes long.

Happy Memorial Day to you and Gene. We had rain on and off today so although I went out to find something related to Memorial Day, I could only sketch from the car. I stopped at a cemetery but there were no flags on display and I didn't find anything fitting, so I sketched someplace else. Hope you had a good day!

Joan, thanks so much. Isn't that the way, you get an idea and life doesn't cooperate. Tomorrow there will be a flag. Ha... Thanks again and hugs.
