Scavenger Hunt from Life #145: Jan 14 - Jan 22

[NedL]

Robin -- your freezer made me smile... like the laundry/bathtub/vacuum! Sometimes where ever I'm sitting, I just draw whatever is in front of me.

Jo -- I like the reflections on the colander. Nice collection of different fruit! Grapes in front w/ purple backdrop looks good.

Grapes -- if I'd known you still have the pineapple I would have made it "pine cone or pineapple"! Nice colors.

Joan -- my parents are about 70 miles away... anywhere from 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours each way depending on traffic. Emily flies back to NY tonight! Having her here went by fast.

I was hoping to find some of the big barnacles that come in on things that have been out on the open sea, but only found some tiny ones. This one was about 1/4" wide on the bottom of a piece of kelp that was high and dry. The barnacles opened up a little while I was drawing ... still alive! So I threw it back into the water before I left....

#1 crustacean -- a barnacle

Grapes, thank you. I like your pineapple! I find them difficult to paint...the outside never comes out right for me. You have nice depth in those little sections.

Robin, you filled up that sketch with quite a few items. Looks like the tub is the center of a lot of activity there. lol

Ned, what a great find! They always have such odd shapes. Nicely done.

Jerry had an appointment with the retina specialist for his eye injections today.
2 - human - continuous ink line

3 - useful item (car) - watercolors and ink on a linen kind of paper that is supposed to be for oil painting. I got a tiny pad of it in a goodie bag at an art event and play on it.
4 - trees

5 - free space - watercolors and ink (A view of one of the shops in Sayville. I think the name of it is good things.)

Ned: Fantastic sea little creatures on the kelp. Well done & well documented in visual graphics.

Joan: Wonderful texture in the oid-paper-pad for your wc works. Difference & Nice. Lovely details on the free space and you know, I always impress of your brick works. Awesome recording quickly of Jerry on the eye check.

Robin: Awesome quick dazzling works, now not only the blue lines but the yellow color punches raise its excitement even more.

#4 Abracadabra ...a direct watercolor of a A Thai giant banyan tree, wrapped with colorful clothes to protect the spirits, who we believe stay with the giant tree. This act of wrapping may help in deterring people of cutting down such trees.

Ai, thanks for your comment. I like your wrapped tree. I've seen trees wrapped, but never that way...interesting.

Thanks, Joan. We usually just have bananas and apples. Your continuous line drawing of Jerry is so amazing. Wow! Love the thought of the car as useful item. So true, take ours for granted. I like the texture on the oil paper. Your free spot is so good with the street lamps and all. Another wow!

Grapes, oooh, what a fun find for pine cone. Great job on the pineapple.

Robin, love the tub and laundry. Reminds me of my dear mother-in-law. Where did she put the overflow? Perfect. I like the colors, too.

Thanks, Ned. Your barnacles are so nifty. I've never seen any or didn't know what they were if I did. Mostly a land lubber. Ha.

Ai, clever for abracadabra. The banyan trees are so interesting and a novel way to try and save them. Love all the colors.
