I have been pretty much taken up with duties between work and grandchildren. This am i got up and really was missing ya’ll and low and behold i was slated to host! What joy!! The perfect motive…. So during this hunt i will really hope to can pass the desire to any lingering, lurking, or art starved soul.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Robin, marvelous to see busy you this morning! Thanks for an interesting hunt. That candle holder is huge and a different find. Great finds for your Hunt. Your hatching is so intriguing.

 

[NedL]

Thanks for the list!

Edit: and greetings from Red Hook, New York where we ended our trip yesterday!

Robin - A few comments.
First off thanks for the list.
Second I have a list made for my hunt which I thought was next and have several that you listed but than double checked the dates and there is a hunt in between. Phew!
Third have the grandchildren draw with you for the hunt. Ai use to post drawings by Lily and Iris. Oh and the woman from Cairo (forget her name) use to post her daughter’s drawing all the time. They were always fun.

Love the gear candlestick. Cool water garden. All well rendered.

Keep sketching
Fletch

Robin, drawings well done of quite challenging models! Thanks for hosting!

 

[Scene Chaser]

Robin, great sketches. I'm fascinated by the table top water garden.
My father's old Model T tool bag. Original tools inside. 2B pencil, on 4"x6" pad.

Bill, very good drawing! Easily recognizable and good angle of the model! Also a treasure!

 

[NedL]

Robin - I always like when you use different colors of ink. The colors work great In Your Water Garden sketch!

Bill - nice job on that model T tool bag!

#1 front of house sub front of hut. This camping hut was in the Ferncliff Forest near Rhinebeck, New York. I went on a short hike there this morning.

Robin: Great start of this Hunt with cool stuffs, esp. the gear candle holder. Lovely glass bowl water garden. Nice bookstand.

Bill & Ned: Love sketches that show part of history. Awesome.

Ned: Fantastic log hut sketch.

Bill: So nice to convey the heirloom tool pack.

 

[Joan T]

Robin, thanks for the new list! That's quite a unique candleholder. I like the little water garden and your book stand. I'm sure it comes in handy.

Ned, how fun that you are in Red Hook! That's such a fun area. Are you staying long? I love the camping cabin and the Beekman Arms sign. I haven't been up to Rhinebeck in a long time....maybe 1766.

Fletch, are you thinking of Shevaun Doherty? She lived in Cairo before she moved back to Ireland. Now she does beautiful botanical art.

Bill, great tool kit, and even better knowing it has a history!

I met up with the NYC Urban Sketchers at Riverside Park South for a day of sketching. One sketch I just posted in the last hunt, and the others are here.
1 - body parts - watercolors and ink

2 - glass windows - watercolors and ink
3 - street light
4 - related to sports (joggers on bottom right)

5 - old - watercolors and ink

 

[AiArts]

Joan: super sketch on all...love the old structure and the jogging track under the train line...nice gesture of the painter.

#1 recent purchase ...my little bidy Duckie plastics...CP and WC

 

[Scene Chaser]

Ned, love the log hut sketch. A memory for you. Also, the sign of the historical building is well done. A pretty fancy building.

Joan, how nice to have a group to sketch with. Your sketcher under the umbrella took some planning and looks great. I was so impressed with your buildings and people.

AI, lovely little sketches of your duckies.
Bill

 

[AiArts]

#2 landscape...on a postcard ...pencil & WC

#3 body part ...a tourist at the Artist House... unfortunately she left the scene before I can show her my

 

[Scene Chaser]

What a lovely cozy scene, Ai. Well captured. Nice sketch of the lady at the table.
Bill

 

[Joan T]

Ai, thanks. I love the little duckies. It reminds me of how Brenda Swenson would do a page of objects from above with their shadows. Maybe you need to add a few more. Great landscape along the river and nice capture of the woman at the table. Do you usually show the sketch to your model?

Bill, thank you. That umbrella was the hardest thing I sketched all day. It was drizzling lightly so we all scurried to sit under the umbrellas. It was a hard angle to sketch it from below. I'm still not sure that I got all the pieces in the right positions. lol Yes, having a group to go out sketching with is such a blessing. I get to go places that I know I'd never go to on my own.

 

[AiArts]

Thanks Ned, Bill, and Joan.

Joan: I normally don't show the model my sketch... but in this case, I did know that she is a tourist... so sometimes... it might bring her a smile knowing that her journey has been recorded as a small art.
