Robin: Thanks.... I will have to check out the Books by Danny Gregory they sound interesting but no that was not the book , nice try

Joan: Thanks love the Easter parade hats and Easter Buny. Like the arrnagement and
colorof your flowers. Nice tree looks like a cherry blossom tree, looks like
spring has sprung in NY!

Ai: Thanks, look at all those sketches! Nice Easter candy sketch malted milk
balls is one of my favorites. Great job on the Iris and Lilly love the color.
Well done dog nice negative sketch. Not sure of the name of those weeds
but could possibly what is called Deadly Night Shade which is poisonous,
can cause rash or itch. I have some in my yard and I sometimes break out.
It is simiallr to poison ivy

Sylwia: Thanks... Great watercolor flowers, well done I particualry like the color scheme
The bird look quite at home. Like the use of pencil in the watercolor. Wow 1a. eye popping
flowers..

Eyepaint: Thanks.... ahh good guess that was the book!

Ai, how fun that you got to sketch an iris and lily flower like the girls. I like the backyard sketch with the blue house. Boots looks like he was very cooperative.

EP, thanks. It was hard tracking down that bunny. He didn't want to stay still for sketches...only photos. lol

Hi, Robin! The Easter Hat Parade was fun but a little chaotic.

Sylwia, another lovely flower sketch!!

Paul, nice sketches there...Manly Man Lotion? Sounds interesting. Impressive razor and broom.

Jo, looks like someone's been snacking on the protein bar. Nice electric razor!

Ai, you're sketching some interesting views from the cabin. Enjoy your last few days. Great talking to you the other day...maybe in person sometime again...

4 - outside view of the street - watercolors and ink (I saw this and had to make a u-turn and find a spot to sketch it. Didn't try the food.)

 

[AiArts]

Joan: Thank you...love the mobile food truck sketch.

EP: The dog is a lab mixed ... Thanks for the bluebell info.

 

[Bghisly and daughter]

Hi I'm Eva from Spain, I was in 2011 in wetcanvas and participated in some of the scavenger hunts back then as bghisly. Had to stop painting because life, but I'm back . Can i join?
Number 1 It pinches
Number 2 Geralt (moved a lot so there's one fake start) as animal

 

[Jo Castillo]

Paul, your room and out the window comment was great! The items in the bunny sketch are super as well. I like the sound of your lotion. Great broom and razor sketches. I've been looking for an odd hinge but haven't found one.

Joan, your Easter parade sketches were super. Love the "real" bunny and the hats. Your direct flowers are so nice. Fun to see them in baskets. Pretty pink tree. The hot dog food truck looks amazing .... and has flags! The protein bars are gluten free and so addictive. Several flavors and sort of healthy. I got them for Gene to eat before he goes on his trike and I like them, too.

Ai, love your candies. I didn't get any malted milk balls this year. My favorite of the Easter stuff. Lovely sketch. Your flowers are beauties. Love iris and the lily is beautiful. Boots looks sweet and he posed for you or stayed still for a time. Yay. The landscape is so nice. I don't know the flowers but they are beautiful. Good that you got to visit the cabin again. Gorgeous area. Your bird in house and the landscape are wonderful memories for you. Safe travels. Hugs all around.

Sylwia, yes we need to get our furniture and carpet down on the porch so we can sit again. I love your blue flowers and the animal .. pigeon? Nice lines and coloring. I especially like the red ones.

Hi EP, you are always so good for our research department! Sounds like bad pretty flowers.

Hi Robin.

Bghisly and daughter, you are both more than welcome!! Clever on the pinches and nice for Geralt to be still for a bit. Nice forms and in watercolor.

We have the Ford mechanics coming tomorrow. There is a recall on a part and they are coming to fix it here. So nice that we don't have to go to the garage and wait for a long time. Yay. Maybe a sketch....

 

[M50Paull]

Jo: love your sketches of the razor, pinching fingers, tree and protein bar (I indulge
in protein bars myself, nice). They are all well done but I particularly like the tree.
My nephew's wife gave me the lotion at Easter when they came over for dinner.
She makes soaps and lotions +++ other things at her place of business.
Ai: Thanks.. great decoration on the cabin wall and ouside cabin view.

Joan: Thanks... Lotion was a gift from my nephew's wife and I have already started using it.
Great food truck I love eating food from food trucks when I go into Cambridge they all seem
to have such amazing food. You get any of the Krazy dogs?

Eva: Welcome... and great way to start those sketches are quite nice love the animal best.

#7. Ice Cube Tray --- pen/ink plus pencil no idea how long I had at least 5 false starts and kept ripping the pages out of my book. I finally did something that looked like an ice cube tray

 

[Triduana]

@Bghisly and daughter : Welcome to Creative Spark Please make yourself at home. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

 

[AiArts]

COuntry scenes at Franklin, North Carolina...about 8x10 inch on wc paper

#7 round -- the roadside mill
#8 favorite place -- the red barn... I envy those chickens inside the barn...ocasionally they walk outside to the open wide green grass

 

[jmfletch]

Am working on my course and occasionally sidetracked into fiddling with watercolor stuff.

Lots of nice work by all.
Ai I think your flower is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_lyrata Salvia lyrata is sometimes grown in gardens for its attractive foliage and flowers, though it can prolifically seed, easily becoming a lawn weed.

[Jo Castillo]

Paul, Thanks. Surprised to see an ice cube tray. Congrats and looks pretty good.

Ai, nice finds of the water mill, so nice, and the scenery and barn. I love red barns. Thanks! Great cork screw. I haven't seen the meat pounder (can't think of what it is called) in ages. Nicely done.

Joe, hey there. Thanks for the research.
