One week 100 people Day 1

So I decided to join this challenge…I thought it would be pretty easy but the chill and wind has kept a lot of people inside and not in parks and  other outdoor places.  So I went inside to a coffee shop, a barber shop while my husband got his hair cut, Miller’s Ale House (thatContinue reading “One week 100 people Day 1”

Sktchy #64

“Just ducky.” The paper I used is terrible for Tombows…..I had to stop before it broke down.  It can’t take many layers…..

#63 sketching in the car

Sketching from the car this afternoon.  Most of these were in Georgia….once we hit Florida it was a free for all…sheesh….some people should not be driving!   One guy from Missouri was cutting people off so close he nearly caused three accidents and it was in a construction zone.  What a jerk. It’s a littleContinue reading “#63 sketching in the car”

“Tea pot kitty” was sketched tonight at the library. This tea pot is adorable and the hole for the spout is in the arm. I had to look at it closely to find the opening.  I like sketching tea cups and tea pots.

Today’s Sktchy #56

Today was the cleanup day after the party.  We had to put all the furniture back where it belongs, put away all of the party appliances and unused supplies.   The chair has moved to the living room for now.  We may have to use it once GoT season 7 comes on this Spring.  MaybeContinue reading “Today’s Sktchy #56”

Billy Joel Concert and today’s Sktchy

Last night, John and I attended the Billy Joel concert at Madison Square Garden.  I haven’t seen ol’ Billy in concert since the early ’80’s.   I managed to do a few sketches which I am happy about.  I used a Pilot Mini fountain pen that had not waterproof ink in it so I hadContinue reading “Billy Joel Concert and today’s Sktchy”

Fountain pen maintenance day

Fountain pens must either be used daily or they need to be flushed weekly.  Today was flushing day…..shamefully, a few pens needed a cold bath today….however, all are well and happy now. Today, I took a J Harbin mini fountain pen on a road test.  After I flushed it I filled it and used itContinue reading “Fountain pen maintenance day”

Today’s sketches

This morning I went out and sat by the water to do this.  I really need to tweak my car set up because it is a awkward to paint in the car.  It is still too chilly for me to sit outside especially when recovering from being sick, so sitting in the car keeps meContinue reading “Today’s sketches”
