Robin, the unfamiliar is fun...lots of new things to sketch. Looks like they are ready for the holidays with the festive garland and the snowman. Nice capture of all of it. Fletch, congratulations on your 59th anniversary!!!🍷🥃🥂🥂🍾 Hope your are celebrating in style...maybe not quite with as many...

Jo, furniture shopping is fun. I need a new table/cabinet for our printer. Never seem to get inside the stores to look for one. I like your Mexican character on the counter. I'll meet you for a margarita! Ai, nice line sketches of the elephants. Did you do continuous line sketches?

I had to have my car inspected and get an oil change this morning, so I brought along my iPad to do some digital sketching. These are quick continuous line sketches I did in the waiting area of the Toyota service of two of the other drivers waiting for their cars. 15 - fast sketches - Procreate...

Fletch, thanks. My town doesn't have a real "town" area...just small strip malls. That's why I gravitate to Sayville and Bellport and towns like that for a "town feel" where I can find a different look in each building and walk around. More and more they keep building so that everything looks...

Ai, I love the Christmas decorations from the mall. I haven't ventured near a mall lately. Too crazy with all the Black Friday sales and promotions. Does it get as crazy there? Fletch, thanks for the birthday wishes. The cheesecake was really good. Jerry said it was the best one he's ever...

Jo, thanks for the birthday wishes and your comments. After that cheesecake I have to start being much more careful about what I'm eating. lol Hope you and Gene are doing well.

Jo, I figured you had to recognize the dots. Every once in a while I end up in an old time candy store and they have some of the candies I remember. I do remember the candy cigarettes...anything to get kids to think about them in a positive way. Ai, you always make your food look extra yummy...

Jo, glad to see you got to do a little art today. Hope you get those pastels going. Funny that those wax bottles were out there by you too. Can you imagine having them around now? Some kid would get at them, try to swallow the wax, and end up choking. Then a lawsuit would happen. They were a...

Ai, you are usually so good at making original cards. I hope you have time to do them. You have an impressive amount of text in the can, book, and bottle. Good designs too. Jade, definitely try using them in the hunts. That's a good way to practice. Fletch, I thought the wax bottles were a bit...

Ai, great bottles in different colors. They remind me of when I was a kid they sold small waxy bottles (maybe 2/3 inches long) filled with some kind of sweet liquid. You would snap off the top and drink the liquid. Each bottle was a different color. Now I can't imagine having that as a treat...

Jo, sounds like you have dinner all worked out. Have a good time and wish Jennie a Happy Birthday. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Fletch, Happy Thanksgiving to you and Sharon. Have a great day. Enjoy the Junior's cheesecake. I haven't had one in a long time. Looks like that sweet tea will...

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Even if you aren't celebrating the holiday I know most of us have many things to be thankful for today. I am so thankful for this community of supportive artists that surrounds me. Enjoy the day! Pine Cone, the window looks so great against the texture of...

Pine Cone, your ducks made me chuckle with their tails up in the air. From what I can recall you rarely get to see the duck's feet when they are in the water unless they are upended like this. I like your persistence in going back to sketch the legs. 🦆🦆🦆
