    Ned, thanks so much for the new list. Ai, love the pink headphones!!! Are they yours or do they belong to one of the girls? My plein air group met at a lavender field this morning. I was afraid it was going to be super hot, but I had my painting umbrella and it turned out to be quite pleasant...

    Joe, it is good to see your post and hear how life is going for you. It sounds like the nursing course is keeping you very busy. Thank you for checking in with us. I will be looking forward to August when you can connect with us more. Ned, I'd bet that pitcher has stories to tell. ;)...

    Fletch, Jo, Ai, hi! Ned, that copper jug is a treasure. I wonder how old it is...love the shape. You nailed the shape and the shading on it!

    Fletch, thanks for your comments. It is always fun when you can play around with different materials...and come home with a few freebies. Jo, super job on the watermelon...love the dark color. In my experience the darker the red flesh is the sweeter it is. I would eat that one right now. lol

    Ai, I'm so glad you are back home safely. You must be exhausted! Airplane sketches from two different flights is a bonus for us. Nicely done. Jerry and I love stopping for BBQ when we travel south. He's always on the lookout for billboards advertising BBQs and we have a special road "bible" that...

    Ned, I guess Ai adapts to the south when she visits Tone's family. She did live in the south for a while. I visit my brother's family down there, but even after living there for over 40 years I don't ever remember my SIL making collard greens...but they do say "y'all." lol Our temperatures went...

    Fletch, thanks for your comments. Nice neat look to your bedding...mine never looks that neat. lol I like the dark graphite in your sketch that makes it stand out. I went to a Holbein workshop/event yesterday and the rep their paints, Legion papers, and General's pencils. He mentioned a pencil...

    Ned, thank you. Sorry the mosquitoes forced you back into your car. Nice texture on the redwood tree and good sketch of your jeep. I was lucky to see the giant redwoods on one trip out there. They were massive! Jo, thanks. I enjoyed sketching with pencil in Procreate. It was easier than using...

    Ai, thanks. I temperature reached 98 here today. My sister in Maine said it reached 100 up there. Jo, the pool and the umbrellas in the shade kept me cool in the afternoon. I love the brightness of your prune container. Since I was at the pool I sketched a few of the items I had on the table...

    Ned, nice sketch of the boats in the harbor. I find it hard to sketch when there are so many boats in the same view. I can't tell what belongs to which boat. Have a nice time. Hi, Jo & Ai. Nothing new from me...maybe today. We are having hot weather, so most of my day yesterday was spent...

    Jo, I'm glad you found a little time and inspiration to sketch. Nice view of what is under the table. Ai, your sketches of the "under" came out nice...and colorful too. I see you have a dog there to sketch...what a bonus! Good find for the eagle.

    Jo, thanks for all your comments. There is a lot to see along the walkway. I tend to always focus on the same locations there. I need to move along. lol But I knew I had to sketch the big pigeon before he was gone.

    Fletch, thanks! I knew you could find an anchor to sketch. Nice work on the insignia. I'm sure you are very proud of it. Ai, I like the tucked away feel to your MIL's cottage. It looks so peaceful. Great job! I went into NYC to meet the sketchers today. I was afraid it was going to be...

    Ai, I like the peach with the bites taken out of it. I remember driving down to Atlanta once and somewhere along the road there was a huge, huge peach raised up on some kind of scaffolding with the welcome sign. I know it is hard to find time to sketch outdoors when you are visiting and not...

    Ai, I like the softness of your edges on the fruit. Have you found anything you can't get back home? I've been eating quite a bit of fruit lately...especially 1 - watermelon - direct watercolor 2 - quiet, foggy morning - direct watercolor
