Fire Hydrant Watercolor

Yesterday was my day out.  I met Joanna and spent time with her so didn't sketch much.  I did stop by the fire hydrant in front of the Super 8 on the way to meet her.  It was good to have a daughter and mom time.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life  
Number 5 fire hydrant - sketched with pencil in the Ohuhu Mixed Media sketchbook and added color at home.  I didn't take a photo.  The hydrant was so rusty that I couldn't tell the color.  I guess it may not have been painted like the one at the juice place I sketched a few weeks ago.   I wondered about them leaving the hydrants unpainted.  

It was a nice day.  A bit windy.  The Longhorns baseball team played Texas State in Austin.  Horns won for the first time in a few years.  They have been playing two Tuesday games every season, playing one in San Marcos and one in Austin.  Horns have been winning in San Marcos and then the Bobcats have been winning in Austin.  So the streak was broken.  Horns won both games this season.
