Sneezy Sketches

We were off to Physical Therapy for Gene today.  I stayed inside where it was cool and sketched a couple more of the cool tissue boxes.  I didn't make them large enough to put on the lettering in white as it should be.  Clever, the brand is Park.

For Scavenger Hunt 166 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-166-july-25-aug-06-2025.8117/

 

Number 3, rectangle, the sides of the tissue boxes.  I love them.  The lavender one says, "Your the Bee's Sneeze" and the green one says, "Easy Breezy Sneezy".

Number 4, curved - the mini planter and plant, about 4 inches high

These are in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Ohuhu pens and watercolor.  I wrote Micron 03 on the sketch as that is the pen I use the most.  Habits are hard to break.

I had a lot of work done at Spring Street Dental in Bastrop yesterday.  They are so good and supportive.  The staff are happy and smiling.  I wish I had had that type of dentists in the past.  I have dreaded going my whole life.  It is pretty late in my life to get good dental work done.  One thing they do is prep and make and put in a crown in one sitting.  Yesterday I had a crown, tooth pulled, teeth cleaned in about 2 1/2 hours.  I'm fine today, no pain or swelling.  I'm a happy camper.  I have more to do next week but there is no fear!

Hi Honey - I'm Home

I hadn't realized I have been absent so long.  About time for a sketch, eh?  I sketched in the living room this morning using the footstool for a table.  I tried the porch but it was just too warm out there, even at 7:00 a.m.

For the new Scavenger Hunt from Life 166  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-166-july-25-aug-06-2025.8117/

Number 1 hand and Number 2 place setting or silverware, sketched with a Micron 03 in a few minutes.

Nice to "see" all y'all.  Thanks for visiting.

Metal Maze

I attempted to sketch the ceiling and crosspieces at PT Solutions today.  I got lost in the lines looking up.  I spent about 30 minutes on it.  That is long for a 6 x 8 inches or so sketch.  It is in the Canson sketchbook with plain paper.  I used a Micron 03 pen.

 

Number 8 metal - the ceiling and cross pieces are painted white.  The back wall is a royal blue and the big pipe and A/C is aluminum color.  I left out many of the sections.

It was an interesting experiment for Scavenger Hunt from Life 165  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-165-jul-13-25.8088/
