Fletch love the angel. Cute ornaments, nice sketching.

Joan, happy you are mostly done. We are still cooking today.

Vivien, love your card with puppy. Sweet. We have no snow either. It is about 72º F today. :)

Merry Christmas Eve all around.
 
Joe, Buon Natale!

Vivien, oh, that pup is beautiful! Merry Christmas!!! I hope you had a wonderful day.

Jo, I hope everything is cooked by now. I didn't have to cook anything new. Things just have to be warmed up.

I had some free time this afternoon so I went out to look for a view to sketch. My excuse was I needed to get gas for tomorrow. lol My new mobile studio got to be part of this sketch done along Main Street in Sayville. There were still people shopping, and many people stopping at the coffee place. I was also hoping to sketch before Mass started, but the church was so crowded I didn't even get a seat until midway through the service.

Wishing Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it!
And Merry wishes to any who don't too! :)

To give to my wife, I spent a couple days making a kinda silly matted framed print of a crab I drew for the hunt... the real gift is crab dinner New Year's Eve....

Joan: That sketch of the Coffee house with the vehicle views are awesome. Love it.... Beautiful Santa in the box too.

Joe1: Thanks for joining. love your character sketches. Please just sketch when you have time to relax. We are easy folks here. You know that we love to see your drawing but don't let our Hunt stress you out on top of your new classes.
 
Vivien - Puppy card is adorable and beautifully done.

Joan - Impressive car painting. Enjoy your new car!

Ai - Love the Holiday decorated bike. Well done! Paintings about the city look like you enjoyed and now we can enjoy Santa, Moodeng and giant Transformer too

Robin 👋🏽. Have to be honest, Been watching your posts looking for holiday dressed pet. 😬

Joe - great reindeer sketches. Looks fun. Best wishes working on new classes. Agree with the others sketching should be relaxation not stress.

Keep sketching
Fletch
 
Jo, love the doggie on the bed! The gray markers were perfect for that.
