Jo, thanks. Great trio of peelers...and it does look like Gene is looking in the rear-view mirror. I'm posting the next hunt a little early because I'm going to be on the road all day tomorrow. This hunt still has time, so please keep posting here until it ends. I'm heading to pick up my sister...

Here are the rules for the Hunt: *All everyday common items on the list must be sketched from life – not imagination or photo reference. *Each object you draw can count for only one item on the listless, no matter how many shapes/parts/colors that object contains. This was agreed on by unanimous...

Ai, many thanks. I love your sketch of the suspension bridge. Looks like it could be one of the new ones we have here in NY. I laughed at the substitution of the giant crane for a gardening tool. Good thinking...it digs. up the earth. lol Love seeing your outdoor adventures.

Fletch, thanks! I always thought eating crabs was too much work, even though the meat was so sweet. I'll deal with king crab legs though. Jamaica Bay did have some good crabbing. Went for a pedicure today and hid a little sketchbook in my lap in a magazine while I stealth sketched. 11 - feet -...

Ned, sounds like a plan to get to see the games!! Great job on the crab...still or crawling around?

Lots of posts since I was here last. Ned, I had to look up the by-the-wind sailors to see what they were. I guess they are a kind of jellyfish with an interesting shape.They look like glass. Thanks for sharing the photo of them too. I like your rocky coast sketch with the shaded sky. Great job...

Robin, thanks! Great sketches of the man napping. Having coffee is tiring. lol

Joe, I like your figurine. He can probably match the one in my Nativity set. They seem to all be posed in the same position. Jo, nice job on the glasses in the case. Mine are never in cases and then I get annoyed because they get scratched. Is that a hummingbird feeder? Nice work. Fletch...

Fletch, lol Yes, 200 years old isn't much in most European countries. Joe, I hope the technician can solve your problem with the computer. It is very frustrating when you are having a problem and then you bring it somewhere and it pretends there isn't a problem. My car used to do that. lol...

I forgot to hit "post reply" last night, so this is coming later than I planned. lol Thanks, Ned. I listened to baseball while I was sitting in my car sketching...the Yankees of course. Sorry you didn't get to your game, but at least you had hiking as a backup plan. I really like your tree. I...

Fletch, thanks for the list and remembering Kivrin with it. Ai, you got busy right away. Love the sketches of the elephant statues! That panoramic painting is gorgeous!! How lucky to find a place where you had a view from above. I met the NYC Urban Sketchers at the South Street Seaport in...

Ai, I love the delicate little orchid flowers hanging down. Nicely done!

Ai, your sketches from the ceramic factory are so colorful and fun! I enjoyed the photos too. That looks like such a joyful place to be painting with all the energy from the colors. Fletch, I think this is our 6th Sentra that we've owned. I don't know of the next one will be a Sentra or not...

Robin, your sketches made me smile. That top sketch is such a great view. Love the shading with your ink and the teal tones when it is diluted. Good thinking for a use for the cap.

Ai, I was set back behind the couple on the beach. They never knew I was sketching them. lol Fletch, I like your spider plant. I used to have a few of them when I had widows that got sun. Now I only grow a few things out on the patio in the summer. Joe, sorry your computer is not cooperating...
