The cool of the house.

It is finally summer and HOT! 97 Fahrenheit. I worked in the garden till it was too hot and then came in and did an interior sketch till I had cooled down.

IVY'S LEGS

I walked this morning in a new area. Now that I am walking further I am finding new things to see. I have reduced my art bag to a pen and sketch book for now and am posting some of them every few days. Ivy and I stopped at a Starbucks and while I sat outside with my iced decaf no cream artificially sweetened coffee, Ivy fell to the ground with a clunk and then a grown to relax. I think an interesting thing about a greyhound is that the legs are so long and almost deer like.

House cleaning day

My on line time has been limited lately. I can log in once a week so this is my chance to post the last few days of drawings.

Better to draw them then to wash them but I did both.
I cleaned out by the garage and my small storage area by my barbeque today. I had to organize this area to get ready for the new trash cans we are getting. It seems that the city believes that every house hold should have 3 garbage containers that are 96 gallons each. I don't know where I am going to put them. The dishes were the easy part.

SKETCHERSIZE

Sometimes I have such a hard time getting a get picture of my drawings.


Well I have taken up the Sketchercise challenge taken from Katherine Tyrrell's blog. This is the first day of exercise by walking and then sketching. Ivy doesn't quite understand why we have to stand for a while but I guess she will get the hang of it.
