Late with an Anvil

A new Hunt started on the 20th.  At least it should have.  I forgot to post it until the 21st.  That makes it a day late for us in the USA and two days late for the artists down under and in Asia. We even talked online about who was next after me and that didn't even jog my memory.  I ignored my reminders on my computer/phone calendar as well.   Getting old and forgetful .. Old Timers.

I finally got the Hunt posted and did a sketch today.

Scavenger Hunt from Life 119

Number 1 anvil - Gene has this vice and the back can be used like an anvil.  It is hot in the garage so I brought it in to sketch.  It weighs about 15 pounds I think.  I used the Blick gray markers and Ohuhu pens in the Canson large sketchbook.

Easy to get lost in the slopes and lines.  Not too bad over all.  I'm not going to post a photo to compare, so.


I've been following a "new to me" blog.  Kathy is posting positive and fun posts on Catching Happiness.  You can check out this post.  Some good ideas and I will try to do some of those things.  Think happy!

It is great that Gene has a collection of tools for you to pick from. We have mostly just the basics here...nothing fancy. Nicely done!

Joan, thank you. We have so many tools and now Gene can't use most of them but I can sketch! Hugs.
