Hello You all from my Bangkok turf.

 

[Bghisly and daughter]

Thanks Silwia for the list!
Started this week with:

#1 Lamp

 

[Jo Castillo]

Paul you got off to a good start. Good ellipses looking up.

Joan, you always find beautiful colors and interesting buildings. Love the couple on the bench.

Robin, fun parking lot view. I like the 4 x 4. Inside the car with gear shift is great and the round chair is so clever. I saw one of those at Lowe's in the outdoor furniture section. Looks comfy but not sure I could get in and out!

Paul, different items to make me smile. Is the wheel from the boat a used one? Love the pepershaker.

Bghisly, cool lamp. Nicely done.

Hi, Ai, take it easy. Nice you are home safely.

 

[Bghisly and daughter]

Joan: love your colors!

Paul: I really love the clothespin.

Robin: how fun sketches! Love you found inspirations in the car.

Here are a couple more.
#2 Something sweet
#3 Jewelry (the hair locket I always wear)

 

[Joan T]

Paul, I love the Cape Cod salt shaker. I haven't been there in too long!!! Good boat steering wheel and nice job on the candle!

Bghisly, thank you. Your lamp is lovely. It looks very antique. I can see from your sketch of the chocolate that you are in another country. Where do you live? I'm always interested in seeing sketches of things that are a little different than here. Pretty locket!!! Is it a treasured keepsake?

4 - seen in my town (ferry to get to Fire Island) - watercolors and ink

5 - open barn door - watercolors and ink
6 - old tractor

​

 

[Bghisly and daughter]

Joan: thank you so much. I'm from Spain. The lamp is one the boyfriend has, but it's outdoors, so, it's weathered (that's the word?), but, I think its from Morocco. Will ask him.

The locket is a really cool treasure. I took it from my grand other house. So it could be 100 years old. Sadly, I don't know whom was. It was in my jewelry box for more than 20 years. And now I had to take it out as I always say that the boyfriend is my lucky charm, lol. So there's a strand of his hair with me every time. It's super tiny.

I don't know if pictures are permitted, but if not, will remove.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Bghisly, the candy sounds great. Chocolate can't be wrong! Well done. Beautiful locket and memories. We love having photos.

Joan, your ferry is so neat. I had a hard time on ferries in Canada. I have to walk and keep moving! Great find on the old tractor. Great setting.

I sketched at the dentist office yesterday and on my footstool today.
Number 1, outdoors and Number 2 important - time, in the travel sketchbook with the Acurit 03 pen.
Number 3, candle - given to us on Sunday when we went to our high school friend's for lunch then music in the ArtStreet book with a Micron 02.
