Looking Down Sketch

Yes, it is time to look down.  (an item on the Hunt - anything viewed from above) I was on the porch, of course, early while it was cool so saw my feet and added the coffee/thermos mug.  The sliding closure on the lid is missing so a bit weird looking, just holes in place of the lid.  I really need to get me a double glass cup again, I don't enjoy drinking from plastic/metal combo. (I'm taking a break and doing that right now before I forget.)

That took a while, I ended up ordering the cups, dish drain rack and sink wash pan for the kitchen and a magnifying glass for Gene.  He gave his away.  So that is my ordering for a while.

Back to my sketch.  I sketched in the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook with a Micron 02 that is close to having no nib or ink.  Maybe one more sketch or two.

Number 6 Anything viewed from above - my feet and coffee

Today would have been my dad's birthday.  A couple of posts you might like to see:

Speaking of that, National Day of the Cowboy falls on July 27 this year.  A salute to the cowboys, especially my dad.

I enjoy reading the stories about your dad. It sounds like he really enjoyed life and raised his kids right. Hope the rest of Father's Day was fun...and the brisket was good.

Thanks, Joan. We had lots of fun. He was strict in the so never was told not to do anything. Also in the small town if we did anything wrong, everyone knew so we couldn't get away with anything. Ha.

I was very confused by your assertion that you were sketching coffee. That looks like a larger-than-life electrical outlet on first glance. Then, I realized it's the lid on a travel mug. Ha!

(not-so-anonymous) Joanna, Yep, have to keep you guessing. I put that mug away for now.
