Bricks Glass Sketch

We have been able to sit on the porch a bit in the mornings.  It is pretty warm but with a fan and just sitting there it is OK.  We were listening to birds with an app called Merlin.  It listens and identifies the birds.  There were about 10 this morning.  It doesn't recognize the local rooster.  That was a surprise.

I got out my new sketchbook.  It is a FIXSMITH 9 x 12 inch plain paper sketchbook.  I've been sketching with ink in the watercolor sketchbooks and that is sort of a waste.  If I want color on this paper it will be with colored pencil.

Our Scavenger Hunt from Life list https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-194-jul-7-jul-19.9140/ had brick and glass as a couple of the items.  There it was, the lamp on the wall of the porch.  I thought I was being careful with perspective and got a line wrong and that messes up the whole thing.  You can see, I hope, that it is metal and glass on the red brick wall.

We are doing OK.  Gene is slowly recovering his strength and that helps a lot.  We won't be traveling or anything like that but we are hanging in there.
