Happy St. Patrick's Day! (almost too late here, too) Joan, I like a good Rueben. Gene doesn't like any part except the cheese maybe. Your avocados in watercolor are amazing, I had to go get one and am eating it on a rice cake. Next is the chocolate! Ai, thanks for the support. I did go...

Ah, love pastels and your paintings are fun. I like the second one best. No good reason.

Hi Ai and all the rest. Joan, ah, fun parade. I don't think there is one here, but the bars all serve green beer, etc. @3 had friends in Bolivia that always had a party and served Reubens and green beer. Where I learned to love Reubens. She made the corned beef and sauerkraut, so yummy...

Hot buttered rum, my dad used to make. This is a good jolt to old memories. Lovely.

This is great. Flowing lines and color. All great!

Joan, fabulous sketch in the Oculus and out. I figured you would find a sedan! Nice forms and detail. Mmmm.

Ai, thanks. Love your cafe. Super continuous lines on the still life. The bread machine is unusual. Nice!!

Joan, thanks. I love your challenge, you are doing great. The oak tree and boulders are a great idea. Love the lifeguard stand and water added in. I'm smiling. Ai, thanks. Markers are different for sure.

Hi all, I sketched at my footstool with Prismacolor and Pentel markers in the new Marker sketchbook. Added ink in black and white. Number 1 - red (my idea for last Hunt I never got done so perfect for red.)

Hi everyone! Welcome. Ai, you picked a cute toy. I like the blue of course. It does look like maybe it is tears on the face, a little sad. Vivien, you did beautiful work on the Pak Choy and avocado. I always liked the avocados in South America. At least twice as big and beautiful compared...

Ai, hair related is so good. Great lines and gestures. The art toy is so cute and soft looking. Do they sell them or are they decorations. Your self portrait is also fun to see. Joan, fun self portrait, I like your hair and squarish glasses. The ketchup is super. I thought of that with...

Wow, fun!!

Joan, thanks for the Hunt. Items can be posted through tomorrow. I have another sketch, I'll post tomorrow. New Hunt is posted https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-185-mar-10-mar-22.8801/

Welcome to the Scavenger Hunts from Life. The Hunts were started in 2006 by Jamie Williams Grossman as a way to practice with prompts. Artists have come and gone while forming some lasting friendships. We hope you will join in and tune up your sketching skills. All levels and techniques are...

Ai, mmm, on the cafe and tea set. I love the shape of the teapot and cups. So graceful in your lines. The photos are super. Joan, your lunch/breakfast spots are so wonderful. I love the old Coca Cola chest. We had one that burned. Lovely lettering on both sketches. The people are...
