Selfie Plus Sketch

Quiet early this morning so sketched at my desk so Gene could sleep more.  These quick freehand sketches are in the Conda Sketchpad with a Micron 03 pen.


 For Scavenger Hunt from Life 155 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-155-apr-04-apr-12.7909/

Number 3 self portrait
Number 4,bird - a couple of the little sculptures from South America re-fired in our fire
Number 5 rock - one the GG's found
Number 6 leaf with veins 

And the real items:


Always fun to see wonderful paintings, check out the Plein Air competition and awards:

Hi, not-so-anonymous Joanna. Selfies are hard. They tend to come out so serious. Joan Tavolott did hers with continuous line. Soooo difficult.

Well done my friend.

Good to see you found some interesting items to sketch while Gene was still asleep.

R's Rue, thank you so much.

Joan, thanks. He is mostly patient and a good model or waits for me to sketch!
