Ai, thanks. I will have to come up with an interesting painting to do on the piece...something to do with the water for sure. Last night a friend gave me a gardenia blossom from her garden. It's perfect in a small bud vase. 4 - flower - Procreate

Robin, thanks for your comment about my office supplies. Posters R Us is calling me. lol Love your kitchen sketch with so many things all around. Those nuts (especially the cashew) look so tempting. I like your idea of the spaceship earth. Good treats to take on a spaceship as long as they don't...

Ai, the dim sum with the pork and shrimp and broth sounds like the soup dumplings that I get sometimes. Yum! Good captures of the moving people. It is hard when they don't stay still. Good decorative piece and twisty tree trunk.

Robin, congrats on posting the first sketches. I like the lines of your teapot. Looks like an interesting book of recipes. Fun looking jewelry. You were quick! Ai, I love your dim sum and the steamer baskets. What is inside them? My favorites have shrimp. Nice work on the dragonfruit. Every...

Ai, I like your step stool...nice and handy. Good sketch of the well-lit soccer field. Is the Iris's sculpture made from pipe cleaners. It is cute and you did a good job capturing the spiral look to the body parts. Congrats on doing all 26!!! I think it has been a long time since anyone...

Ned, I'm not good at public speaking either, and don't perform in any manner at all. lol I would think that some of the concert pieces were probably recorded. My niece had majored in dance, and quite a few of the performances were recorded so we were able to see them even without being there...

Ned, thank you! I'm glad your daughter's senior performance went so well. Sounds like she's very talented. Do you sing too?

Ned, thanks for the new list. I'll keep my eyes open for a space ship.

It was a rainy day today so I went to my local library to find an indoor spot to sketch. They have a small cafe where you can get coffee and a snack. 17 - corner of a room - watercolors and ink 18 - hot coffee

Jo, thanks. I loved seeing the guy with the foot brace on the line. I started with him. lol They keep forecasting rain here, but we barely get showers. We need any rain we can get. Ned, thank you. Hope your trip to NY was good. Ai, you had a nice spot to wait by Lily's school and you took...

Robin, some fun sketches and one scary, pointy object! Ned, I did most of the sketch while we were waiting before the town hall started. I left a spot for him to stand. (Didn't know if he'd use the mic or the podium.) Sketched him quickly and then finished at home. Welcome home! Fletch, thanks...

Ai, thanks. I was actually sitting downhill in the parking lot by the dock. I haven't figured out how to make something look like it is uphill or downhill. Mine always come out looking the same. I guess I should google how to do it. lol Today I attended a town hall meeting which was very good...

Jo, thanks! I'm glad I got to paint some of the cherry trees when I did. Most of them are already changing to green leaves. The season for them is so short. Hope you get back into the swing of sketching and creating. Ai, I love when things are in bloom. I'll be watching for the irises next...

6 - purple flowers - direct watercolor 7 - blue barn 8 - comes to a point (branches) - direct watercolors Last night the Patchogue Sketch Club was supposed be at the library and our theme was supposed to be "shoes." However, it was such a beautiful evening we changed plans and went to...

Ai, that sketch from the cafe is so cute! I like the way you composed the page.
