Markers and Ink Sketches

Our weather has been between late winter and late spring this week.  Cool and then hot with no in-between.   Sort of missing regular spring.  But ... nice to sit on the porch and watch the folks out walking.  We saw a couple on horseback today but no photo or sketch.  Gene was having speech therapy also on the porch.

I sketched yesterday in the Marker Sketchbook with Blick gray markers.  Number 1 in the new Hunt for "spring flower".  I bought a new geranium.  It is a bit fuller than my sketch.  I'm sure it will be bedraggled like the last one in no time.  I ordered it with groceries and they had potting soil on the website.  I ordered it too without thinking about size.  So I got one small geranium and like a 20 pound sack of soil.  Never thought about that.

For Scavenger Hunt 186 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-186-mar-22-apr-3.884

Today I did these three.  Number 2 fits in hand, Ohuhu pens

Number 3 statue or figurine - the plastic owl on a pole that is supposed to keep birds away from the windows.

Number 4 building - next door.  I have painted the shed in pastel and called it a fishing shed as it is by the water.  Seems to actually be a tool shed.

These three are on one page in the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook.

    So glad you were able to get some sketches done. I smiled to read you bought that big bag of soil and ended up with a small geranium. You will have to get a few more plants to even things out. :)

    R's Rue, thank you. Always nice to hear from you.

    Joan, thanks. I have no green thumb and no patience for caring for them. That is why the geraniums are always bedraggled. Ha. Thanks.
