Joan - the dunes are simply gorgeous.
Ai - love the warm inviting feel of this. I had to laugh at the little whale in outline of the hand. Thank you.
Brian - great job on pine cone. Two ways to get lost in a drawing. You can get lost in the details or get into a zone and lose track of time. Think Millais did both ..got lost in time with all that detail.
Mosc - Beautiful. Love the reflections.
Keep sketching

Ai, I love the little whale chopstick rest! That is a nice souvenir of Japan.
Moscatel, thanks so much!
3 - something from outside - watercolors (Nearly finished on location. It needs a few more touches to be complete.)
Moscatel - I love the painting of the building. Where is it located? It may be from the 1400s but is still standing strong! Great job on the reflections!!
Fletch, thanks. You know me and the Long Island beaches.
Brian, the candleholder is so well done! I think I would be using that while I wandered at night in the building Moscatel painted.

Joan, I like a lot your outside painted view with the bridge.
The castle is located in the eastern parts of Finland, a small town called Savonlinna.
Here’s the link to the page of the castle. It was built late 1400. https://www.kansallismuseo.fi/en/olavinlinna
Thank you!

Joan, your lighthouse is wonderful... Your water scene with the bridge is old school. Nice.
Ai love the park scene. Great shadows. Cute chop stick holder. You have fun items.
Brian, good job on the pine cone. So easy to get lost... Interesting Millais painting. The candlestick is perfect... retro.
moscatel, what fun to have oil sketches. The plein air is soooo good.
My painting buddy from Michigan arrives today for 3 days. I'm sure our plalying will fit in here.

Ai, thanks!
Moscatel, thanks for the info on the castle. How wonderful that it is so close. Doing a nocturne sounds like a great idea. I looked at the link and the photos are really nice. I'd be there painting it too. I like your plein air...too bad you missed the mist, but it is a great painting even without it.
Jo, thank you. How fun that your painting friend will be visiting for a few days. That is always special.
I sat in Sayville for a little bit sketching today.
4 - street signs - watercolors and ink
5 - traffic control device
6 - living (trees and plants)

Animal. But of course, everything is still life, so this is a plastic toy sheep. It looks like it's a simple thing to draw, until you begin to swing it around and try drawing it from various angles, including unfamiliar ones, such as partly from below. Then it turns into a nightmare, which is a good thing, because nightmares teach us how to draw.

#3 Something ??? - "something I found at the beach .. a lake view."
I mainly parked my easel here because there was nobody around, all beach just for us. Husband went for a swim, the ground under water was sand so it was really nice to swim. This place is distant and I and my cat heard lots of different unique birds singing or giving their voices.
there's my Bengal cat having siesta on the blue seat. She's in a leash, 7 meters long leash, so she won't run away. She can move around.

Brian - The candlestick is rendered elegantly. Excellent. The sheep all have excellent proportions and textures! Great work.
Joan - The bridge view has a very impressionistic feel to it. Very relaxing as opposed the the busy corner in Sayville.
Moscatel. - Gorgeous. I love how the photo in situ looks to lineup perfect with the view.
. The lake view from the beach is also stunning. The photo of Muffin resting highlights the beauty of the area.
EP - Love your little windows on the world. Seeing our little stingray friend brought a smile. Thanks.
Keep sketching
