We actually went to baseball yesterday. It was a great day for it. Good weather not too sunny or hot. About half full. Saw a few folks from the old days. Visited with Joanna and Esther, Joanna's friend from work, and baseball. I forgot my sketchbook. An item on the new Hunt was people in uniform so my plan was to sketch the players. Because sketches for the Hunt are supposed to be from life and I wouldn't be back to a game soon, I decided to sketch on my phone with the app, Brushes.
The sketches took forever so I missed some of the action. Players all stand in similar stances but I tried to do the sketching of gestures when the same player was batting or pitching. Not so good, but not so bad.
Number 1 people in uniform - batter for UT, batter for OSU and pitcher for the Longhorns.
Scavenger Hunt 113 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-113-may-3-may-11.6831/
Photo with the colors. The Longhorns are burnt orange and white and Oklahoma State Cowboys are bright orange and black.
They used to play the song, "Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" at the end of the game, but that is not allowed anymore. Sigh..... They used to play "God Bless Texas" but not now.
Universities allow hate speech and intimidation from the far left but no positive conservative speech. Only free speech if you agree. I saw on the news that something like only 20% of young students or other youngsters are proud to be Americans these days. I'm embarrassed for them. They should try living in one of the countries they are supporting and see how free they are.
God Bless Texas and America! Thanks to all our military and first responders that keep us free.

I am so impressed that you were able to sketch the batters on your phone! Great job!!
Joan, thank you so much. It takes forever so luckily they bat at least 3 times. Ha. Much easier with a pen!
Lovely
R's Rue, thank you. :-)
It is always fun to try tot capture the action with a gesture drawing. Good job.
Don't get me started on kids in college these days and how they think. I'd be ranting for weeks:)
bag blog, thanks so much. I have written much longer rants and then not posted. Shouldn't do it, gets the blood pressure up! Thanks for stopping in. :-)
