Rural Sketchers #9 Tag Sale Keys

My first upload for Rural Sketchers..this

was done with three kinds of pens--two

ballpoint and one fine line marker..

On this ring of keys I was thrilled

to find at a tag sale, there must be

about 32 keys and I just like

to see them hanging  around the

studio...I live in a town of

1200--and we have lots of rural

areas...

Urban Sketchers....Main Street Police Station

The old train depot became the new Police

headquaters and is located at the town hall end of

Main Street in Stafford by the fountain, railroad tracks.

church and within view of the old woolen mills...

Raw ink sketch which I am learning to love

to do....

Sunrise In My Cup

Been awhile since I posted here as I use

my flicker site mostly---see to the left how to click on it.

In a few days I will upload this same painting there...

Up early in the am outside taking  photos

and as I walked back into the house I

 saw my coffee cup on the old bench

with deep shadows and the  color of  the sunrise looked to

be there...stopped me in my tracks and became a journal

page pretty quickly...it amazes me in that

that may be a rare occurance..



Botched Intentions

The photo pretty much spells it out and

 left clicking photo should bring

it up easier to read.

  What puzzles me is.... why is there

even a crumb, let alone a bite, left on the plate?

 It's been awhile since I posted on this site as I'm enjoying

 classes and post mostly on my flick site which you

 can go to up on the left...

A Red Touch

I stopped after three additional

red add ons....Natually, Papa Hoodoo

liked his name there best....he said the Voodoo

blood drops might be too scary

and the heart wasn't edgy

enough... I forgot to say I tried my

new Noodlers fountain type

pen on this assignment and liked

the feel of it...used Noodler's

Lexington Gray ink. I read where

you can add water to make it lighter gray...
