Ai, good find for triangular and trees. What a fine place to have breakfast. Looks good.
I finally took a few minutes on the porch this morning. Nice but a bit damp so you feel cool after a while. I've sketched this tree more than a few times. Just coming out from the winter.
Number 1 tree - in the large Mixed Media Canson sketchbook with Micron 03. I too got tired of making leaves. I was going to do the second tree to the left.

Jo, thanks. The digital colors worked well for the pepper.
Ai, my hands hurt just thinking about all the inking for those leaves. Nice capture of the triangular piece of the thatched roof. What is in the bowl?
Hi, Ned.
This was outside the Long Island Maritime Museum. It was made in 1896 for the U.S. Lighthouse in South Portland, Maine.
7 - bell - watercolors and ink
8 - animals - graphite
This vehicle was parked along the edge of a small parking area. It seems to be a floating Tiki Bar that is heading back to wherever it belongs for the summer.
9 - free space - watercolors and ink

Thanks so much Ned and Jo.
Jo: Wonderful tree. I have been admiring your ink-sketches, esp. the trees and shrubs. I am learning.
Joan: Thanks. In the bowl was noodle with minced pork, pork balls, and crispy wonton, with some broth. Super job on the floating tiki bar on wheels... lovely giant historical bell, nicely done animals.

Ai -- the tea is great, and miss Lily is pretty good! That cat cafe is wild, you did good catching the animals. Any animal I try to draw moves as soon as I've got some ink on the page 
Joan -- the St Patrick's day one is great. Your response to Ai made me laugh. You weren't trying to fit and not be noticed by wearing a giant green hat with a buckle??! Love the blue colors in the pavilion and the fence/railing in front of it. The shading gives that red pepper good form. The bell is great, I'd like to see that in person. Nice geese and floating "tiki" bar

Thanks, all y'all.
Joan, what clever finds. The bell is super! Great geese gestures. The tiki bar is a delight to see. You rock!! (don't guess they say that anymore)
Thanks, Ai. I spent one summer in New Mexico painting and sketching different trees. I have forgotten a lot! Ha. I was wondering about the pork balls, too. Yummy.
Wow, Ned. I like the bird feeder. A new one to me. It looks squirrel proof!

Ai, thanks so much. Your breakfast(?) in the bowl sounds delicious...a nice lunch for me.
Ned, when I want to sketch animals they don't even wait for me to put my pen on the paper. They move as soon as I think about doing it. I must send a message thru the air or something. Interesting bird feeder and well sketched. Do all the circular parts on the outside keep away the other critters? All those parts look like a difficult job of sketching.
I sketched this the other day but for some reason I kept forgetting to take a photo so I could post it. It is one of the statues outside in the garden near my church.
12 - statue - watercolors and ink

Joan -- I like the angel. To me it has the perfect amount of ink lines. Things that move are so hard... Maybe that's why I like to draw rocks and trees lol!
I think Jo is right that the feeder is meant to keep squirrels out, but it also keeps out bigger birds like jays and woodpeckers. I've seen little birds sitting in there when there was a hawk in the tree too! We have so many hawks here that there aren't many squirrels.
#2 water -- Where I went on a really nice hike today. Ink, ink wash.
a photo:
The rock on the left magically got narrower so that it would fit on the page!

Ned, I agree with you about things that are still. I guess that's why I like buildings and landscapes. Nice rock shapes and movement of the water. That's a really nice sketch.
I like to try and find trees with interesting trunks.
13 - tree - watercolors and neocolors
14 - spring flowers at the Bayport Flower House - direct watercolors

Ai, what a great collection of sketches. I love the diving helmet...so fun and I'm sure it was a challenge to draw! The Batman headpiece is great. I'm impressed with the bike sketch...so many parts and I don't think you missed any. lol I always enjoy your sketches of Tone at the barber. I cut Jerry's hair so I don't have the opportunity to do sketches in a shop like that. I end up trying to sneak a view thru the window of local places. lol That doesn't work so great.
