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...

Ai, thanks. I've been watching some of the sessions from Sketchbook Revival and Koosjie Koene had one that I liked. I can't find time to do all the workshops, but have been trying to watch most of them. Jo, thank you. It is funny but we rarely all get to gather closer to home. lol Hope you get...

3 - rough or textured outer shell - watercolors and ink

Thanks, Ai. It was a treat to all get together yesterday. Usually we just meet in the city, but this was a good location for all of us to meet without having to take the train anywhere. It gave us a chance to sit and talk a bit at the end of the day too. We have another beautiful day today, but...

Hi, Ned. The last hunt did seem to go by quickly. I don't know if anyone had the same problem as me yesterday, but I couldn't get into the site at all. I tried from my computer, iPad, and phone and both on Safari and Chrome...no deal. Glad to be able to post this morning. These were both done...

Hi Ai & Jo. Hoping to get busy with the hunt today. Heading to the Arboretum with friends this morning to paint the cherry trees in bloom there. See you later.

Jo, the sketches by the kids are great. Do they normally sketch when they come over or did they do it because you were doing it? I can imagine that having all of them at once would be a bit noisy. They have so much energy. It was good that the weather cooperated and you were able to spend some...

Scavenger Hunt from Life #188: Apr 15- Apr 27 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...

Ned, thanks for your comments. No, both of the bridges I had in the sketches cross the East River connecting Brooklyn with Manhattan and Queens. I like the sketch of the tractor. The wheels always attract my attention. I often have them looking flat so nobody could possibly drive the vehicle...

Ned, your rock looks good. None of us would know that it wasn't as narrow as you sketched it. I was once sketching Belvedere Castle in Central Park and I had started it from the top of the castle. A boy and his dad came over to look at what I was sketching and the boy wanted to know why I...

Ai, thanks! Robin, I like the bowl...nicely shaped. The oriental figurine is nicely done for the classic item. Sweet sketch of the Hummel figure too. 13 - vehicle (not quite because it doesn't have a motor) - watercolors and ink 14 - free space #3 - watercolors

From yesterday and today... 10 - free space #1 - watercolors and ink 11 - free space #2 - watercolors

Ai, great sketch of the view from your hotel room. You captured the distance well. I always love staying at the beach and like getting up to see the sunrise and walk on the beach. I haven't done that in too long...sigh!

Put me down for #192: Jun 13 - Jun 25.
