Hi, Joan, Thanks. Will use it on tamales or maybe carnitas, little pieces of pork browned and cooked in the chile. Either way, pretty good. Ohhh, look at the beautiful flowers. The pink says spring for sure. I like the simplicity of the clothespin. I need to do that.
Ai, the shopping mall art is amazing. Great lines and forms. Wow. Thanks and great photos, too.
I sketched while we were waiting for take out at Kyoto Japanese Restaurant after physical therapy. I left out a lot of detail, lack of patience and time. We'll call it artistic license!
Number 2 clouds - a bit faint but there
Number 3 water - well a dry water fountain by the Mexican restaurant.

#5 outside corner ... a lovely outdoor corner of a garden style homey foodshop called Ran-TongJong (We had our lunch here today). This is where I need to simplify, which I did not know what to do with all the branches and leaves... so this is what I got. Directwatercolor ... (PS. I did try to jot Tone down... but Oh well...)

Ai, wonderful job on the musical instruments. Are they for display purposes or does someone come along and play them at times? Thanks for your comments. Super job on the garden area (which you definitely did simplify) and your willing model who posed in that great setting.
Jo, thank you. I love how you are grabbing the opportunity to sketch when you are out of the house waiting somewhere. I like the details on the fountain and how you simplified the scene...and kept in the flag. Nice!
We have another bitterly cold day today. I'm planning to go out and maybe sketch an indoor location. It is hard to come up with something different. I think it might be too cold to sit in the car and sketch.

Thanks, Ai. I think you have a perfect mix of leaving in and leaving out. I love your model, say hi to Tone.
Joan, thank you. I hope you get to sketch. We have one OK day today. Windy and about 60-65, then in the 30s tomorrow for at least 4 days. Our winter is on! Hopefully this is the end. Ha.

I ended up going to the mall today, but couldn't find anything there that excited me for sketching. I ended up sketching from my mobile studio. These are tiny...maybe 3 x 4.

Joan, tiny great sketches. The burger sign and the car are so good. I really like the dark water and bushes in the landscape.

Thanks for your comments, everyone!
Stephanie, nice sketch of the box with the flowers...such a nice, loose sketch.
I drove down to Smith Point Park in Shirley today thinking I could sketch a wave for water while sitting in my mobile studio. They put up snow fencing across the spot where you can usually see down to the water and blocked my view! I had to settle for sketching at the other end of the parking lot. I spied a few deer. They tend to come over when cars stop and park thinking they are going to be fed. I never feed them because it is illegal and just helps the deer population there to increase. That results in more accidents and deer and people being injured. But it gave me a short time to sketch one of them. These are small sketches and are on the same page as the ones I posted yesterday.
9 - animal - watercolors and wc pencils
10 - clouds - watercolors and ink
11 - water
12 - bridge

Expensive,animal, draw digital free hand.It's a new figurine, bought at the newsstand 4 days ago.Donald duck was the comic I loved to read. This gadget was at the newsstand with a magazine of collections, episodes released in recent years. The figurine cost 60 cents plus the cost of the magazine. The figurine at 60 cents no expanse, it's cute, the magazine is expensive, €5.but I couldn't resist.
