Sketching Around Town

My day out today.  It was about 60 degrees so comfortable in the mobile studio and then in Anita's restaurant.  A bit cool outside in the breeze.

I remembered to sketch a mailbox on the way home.  I scanned it first so numbered it that way.  

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 177  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-177-04-16-december-2025.8534/

Number 3 mailbox - in the small Canson travel sketchbook with plain paper.   I sketched these before as I recall the bucket under the one mailbox.  And I did.  They were a bit different in 2022.

 I forgot to make some black only one white one today and something else different, oh well.

Number 4 car side view mirror and Number 5 parked bicycles in front of a "junk" shop. This is in the Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook with Ohuhu .2 pen and watercolors.

Number 6 potted plant on a pot on the back of a booth.  Number 7 mug in dramatic light - I substituted a glass and salsa.  Also in the Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook with Ohuhu .2 pin and watercolors.

It was an adventure.  I got to Anita's and ordered my lunch.  The young waitress brought my Margarita and the salsa and chips.  I immediately tasted it as she walked away and then hit something and dumped the whole glassful in the chips and salsa and all over the table and floor.  Whew!  Somehow I didn't get any on me.  They moved me to a clean table and it took two of them to clean up the mess.  I had a puffy taco again and guacamole and sketched for at least an hour.  It was quiet and peaceful in there.

 

The white Christmas cactus has one open bloom and about 4 more tiny ones.  You never know how they will bloom or if they will bloom.  The red one is still too young, maybe next year.
