Sketches in Crayons

Yep, I bought a box of Crayons.  Searching online it looked like a box of 64 would have a goodly amount of the colors on my list.  It only had about 6 or so.  It was fun to color with crayons, hadn't done that in years.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 126  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-126-aug-15-aug-23.7168/

Number 2 brick red - the brick wall done with Brick Red and a few other colors including Salmon
Number 3 Pine green - the Christmas cactus with a sub of Forest green from the box, no Pine Green
Number 4 Timberwolf - the bucket done with Timberwolf and Silver from the box and a bit of some blue in the shadow.
Number 5, Robin's Egg Blue - egg carton from the Robin's Egg Blue in the box.

I used a few other colors from the box for depth.  Tried to get an off white on the brick wall wooden part and between the bricks.  No color like that in the box.  

The colors from the list that I used:

robin's egg blue            forest green
mahogany                     silver
brick red                        timberwolf
salmon

It is fun to see the color names.  Not so many of the new ones in this box.  It's probably been at Hobby Lobby for a while, eh?

 And the set up at the table.

Yesterday we went to the Empty Bowl Summer Concert and listened to/watched Barbara Nesbitt, Ben Jones and Graham Weber.  Ben accompanied Barbara during her section.  He can really play the guitar.  He is British and quite a comedian.  He said something like he can be silly and say anything while holding his guitar and people listen.  All are friends of Joanna which is not a surprise.

The afternoon was at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection in Austin with its beautiful stained glass windows.  there are windows along the sides as well.  That is Ben in the lower right corner. 

Our purchases. 
Is the brown casserole dish supposed to represent a loaf of bread or a cushion??  Love the bowl with strawberries in it.  Pretty colors and nice pottery work. 

Gene and I bid on quite a few items.   He is always good at that trying to get the bidding to go up.  No one outbid me, though, except on one item so we ended up with a few items.  All for a good cause to feed the hungry since the money goes to the Food Pantry.  See you there next year??  I could donate a painting for the auction if that would inspire you.  I didn't think of it for this year.
