Thanks, Jo. It seems that most of the items for the sketches that I don't get to are things that I can actually find in the house...strange.

Everyone, thanks for your comments on my sketches. Jo, that prescription package sketch looks like so many that have passed thru here. lol Love the shading on the bag. Your sketch of the walkers with the dog really captured the essence of their activity. Nicely done! Robin, I love the squirrel...

Fletch, good thing the messages wait for us and don't disappear. Thanks for your comment. Ai, love the colors in the flame tree. It looks like our autumn colors. 13 - in plastic wrappers - watercolors and ink We had a rainy day so an outside painting location for the NYC Urban Sketchers was...

Jo, Thanks. That's the problem with Starbucks...they all look alike. I like seeing something new and interesting. Ned, lol I have to be sneaky sometimes. Jerry doesn't look at a can as a sketch opportunity like I do. But he is good if I remember to tell him not to touch something. Sometimes it...

Thanks, Ai. The web page seems to be working OK this morning.

The Creative Spark site seems to be very slow opening and posting anything. Sketched inside Starbucks where the Patchogue Sketch Club met last night. 12 - sweet syrups in the pump bottles - watercolors and ink

Jo, sorry you missed the sketching opportunity at PT. The can of anchovies were bought for Jerry. I don't eat them. I hid the can so I could sketch it before he put it on his pizza. I couldn't pass up that colorful can. Rain down there sounds good. Hope it makes a dent in what you need. Ai, I...

11 - animals - graphite

10 - in a can - Posca markers and colored pencil

Ai, love the sketch of the bike 🛵. They aren't seen as frequently here and they are by you. That boat you took to the island looks like a nice way to travel. Thanks for your comments. Jo, thanks for commenting. I'm imagining you sitting with the palette balanced on your knee. I like the...

Fletch, thanks so much for your comments about my recent sketches. I like your Kleenex box and the way you simplified the pattern. Hope your routine helps you find some more drawing time. 9 - found in a garden - watercolors

Ai, thanks for your comment. Ned, thanks. Nice job capturing the architecture. Looks like a nice country ride. At the dock in West Sayville. 8 - waterscape - watercolors and ink 9 - something with wheels

Today I was at Roosevelt Island, a narrow island in NYC's East River. It is part of Manhattan and is known for its residential communities, parks and history. It can be reached by the Aerial Tramway, the F train, and ferries. It offers scenic views of Queens and Manhattan. 4 - calming spot by...

Pine Cone, it is so good to have you here. With all the confusion with CS it seems like you had to be. here the day/moments that things were announced or you sort of missed them. I'm glad you found out we were still here. Sorry that you are feeling so exhausted. Life has not been easy for you...

AI, you make the food look so delicious. Aside from blueberries or food containing blueberries I don't think I've seen blue foods. That looks so different. I love the fish by the dock. Nice work on the building. What kind of boat took you to the island? Robin, I like your squishy creature. That...
