Scavenger Hunt from Life #157: Apr 20 - Apr 28y

Robin, great sketch of your shadow! I think I have a lot more spices than you do, so maybe I'm a collector too.

Jo, thanks. Those sound like interesting recipes. I'll take the NY Cheesecake and the yummy Key Lime Pie from Florida. Hope your teams won. Glad to see that the geranium is doing better than it was for a while. They are hard to kill. I don't know if I told you this story before. The smell of the geranium flowers bothers me. I had a geranium plant in my classroom that was a gift. I brought it home at the end of the school year and put it in my apartment. I watered it and left for the summer. I decided if it made it through the summer without me it deserved to live...and it did. lol

Joan, thanks. I had a recipe for NY Cheesecake from the old McCalls magazine if you remember that far back. It had a pineapple topping and used 6 packs of cream cheese. It was rich and delicious! Your brick wall is so nice with the lovely pink tree and porch with rocking chairs. Mmmm. The waterscape is great, too. As Ned says the sky is amazing.

I sketched on the porch yesterday. A quick one before baseball. We saw "our" roadrunner dash across the yard with something in its mouth. This sketch is more from memory than actually seeing it. Not sure about the size and shapes. For the Hunt, Number 5, landscape in the Conda Sketchpad with Micron 03.

Thanks, Fletch for this Hunt. See all y'all on Robin's Hunt.

Robin - like the textures and fan movement as well as the soft colors but got the feeling of “warmth” so guess reaction is a personal one. The shadow made me smile and the ‘collection’ made me laugh. We have something like a collection as you buy a spice fir a particular recipe. Use 1/4 or maybe 1/2 teaspoon a the jar ends up in the cabinet untouched for years. Nice pen sketches.

Ai - The café view has a real spring feel. The flowers are nice.

Jo - nice bright flowers. Liked the NY recipes. Black and whites have been one of Sharon’s favorites since I met her along with Junior’s Cheesecake ( the best! ). Like the bagels they say the difference is in the water. Nothing in the Florida list even sounds interesting besides Key Lime pie. The pink tree painting is pretty but the waterscape really draws me in.

I really wanted to do something for this hunt. Found one of the pysanky eggs and sketched it. Intent was to watercolor it. This is as far a as it got.

Keep sketching and learning
