Plant Window Sketch

It was PT for Gene today.  I decided to go get something to drink .. I wanted a latte but no place in the shopping center for that.  I went a couple of doors down to Garcia's, a Mexican restaurant.  The hostess asked if I needed a menu and I said I was probably just having a drink so she sat me at the bar with a drink menu.  Ha.  It was about 11:00 a.m.    A margarita didn't sound too bad but it was a tiny bit early and I was driving.  I ordered a diet coke and they brought me salsa and chips.  I realized I was really hungry so ordered some guacamole.  Nice lunch.

I sketched a tall skinny cactus, about 3 feet tall in a very colorful pot.  The window had glasses and other things in it so decided to include that.  This is in the Canson regular paper small sketchbook with the Acurit 03 pen.

For Scavenger Hunt 127 from Life https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-127-aug-23-aug-31.7201/

Number 2 plant - tall cactus
Number 3 window - out the window leaving out lots of details

I had to then fix Gene some lunch when we got home.  He ordered a fried spam sandwich with a side of coleslaw (left over from last night, luckily).  

Now I really need to straighten up the kitchen.  Sigh.....
