Fletch, the funny thing is even with so many sketchers, I hardly saw anyone else until we met at the end of the day. The museum is so spread out that you don't notice there are other sketchers around. Thanks for you comments. Your WIP is really coming out nice. You will probably have to find a...

Scavenger Hunt from Life #181: Jan 21 - Feb 2 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...

Robin, I like your rhyming words. The chairs that life and the gifts work perfectly. I smiled at the name of the lounge.:D Thanks for all the comments on my sketches. Ai, first of all....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I know it is over by now, but I hope you had a great day. Also, thanks so much for taking...

Fletch, good to see you. Let us see the cp you've been working on when it is finished. Wanna see... Jo, I like the cactus sketch. I would notice them in a minute since we so rarely see them up here. Nice that you were able to find something different to sketch. Ai, thanks for letting me know...

Thanks for your comments, Jo & Jade. The Museum of Natural History was fun, despite the crowds. Ai, the house is great! You captured the architecture well. Awww, cute cats. They must love all the attention when people come to the cafe...or do they just ignore everyone? lol Curious to know...did...

Ai, I like your colorful building along the canal. Thanks for always sharing your culture with us. Robin, you've got a lot of "underneaths and overlappings" there. The figurine is great with all the children clustered around.:) Nice looseness to the sketch of the two candles. The animal...

Robin, thanks so much. I'll take the "extra fries" over the exercise any day. :LOL: Hope you get to do a few sketches for the hunt. 12 - free space (local diner) - watercolors and ink

Jo, chocolate, wine, and pizza sound good to me.:) Getting out for the PT sessions or anything are good for the spirit as well as the body. My friend's hubby also has Parkinsons. She meets a few of us at the bagel shop every Wed after we all weigh in at Weight Watchers. She can't leave Sam home...

Jo, I've never seen that many pelicans together. I've only seen a few at a time when I've been to FL. Nice combination of your hand with the small machine. 11 - view thru a window of a local pizza place - watercolors and ink

Ai, thanks for your comment. I'm ready for Texas brisket too! Jo, I wonder how far the pelicans strayed... Fletch, thanks. The small, cheap set of paints were Yarka paints. One of the first watercolor sets I had were Yarka paints. They don't have a lot of pigment in them and are wimpy when you...

Jo, thanks. I'm not sure why there was a no parking sign there since the entrance for the entire parking lot had a chain across it...better safe than sorry? lol Sounds like you had a busy day. 10 - animal - watercolors

Ai, thank you. I like the ballerina figurine with the simple ink wash. Ah, what a relaxed pose for the cat!

Ai, great sketch of the overlapping bananas. The addition of the dragon fruit and melon is great! 8 - plants - watercolors 9 - flat boards on the no parking sign

Ai, nice job on the roadside airplane! Good thinking for a large machine. Jo, thanks for your comment. Robin, I see you are actively involved in packing up the Christmas decorations. Nice work! The NYC Urban Sketchers met at Industry City in Brooklyn today. It is a 35 acre, mixed-use...
