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.
Jo just catching up on your posts. Glad to read hubby is improving. I like the idea of sitting on the porch with a swing just sketching whatever is in view. Likewise in the past have done the same thing. For some reason this summer not so much - hmm - maybe need to find some extra time to do so. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks for stopping in. Each day is better except for the heat right now. Yesterday was our first 100º day. Yikes!
