Houseplants

Houseplants

Another sketch for the Wet Canvas Scavenger Hunt. This is one end of the shelf in front of my living room window. The gernaium has insisted upon growing up through the lamp, despite my attempts to train it otherwise. It seems happy and the compact flourescent bulb is cool enough that the plant is unscorched, so I have left it to grow.

Feels good to be sketching again. I didn't realize how much I had missed it.

Back to Sketching

It has been a long time since I've done much sketching. The Scavenger Hunt at Wet Canvas has been on my mind lately and so today after reviewing the current list, I decided it was time to pick up the sketchbook and begin anew.

#1 ~ Egg Cup
#2 ~ Open Candy wrapper with Candy ~ in this case a Tootsie Roll Pop!
Egg Cup and Tootsie Pop
I'm definitely a bit rusty after so much time away from sketching. Since I hope to begin oil painting again in the next couple weeks, I need to work on my "seeing" skills!
