random sketches
Just a few random sketches of interesting things seen in the past 3 weeks . . .
The American Beautyberry plant was growing in the Sam Houston National Forest we camped in — great for keeping mosquitoes away! I saw the rooster perched in a wheelbarrow at Bill’s sister’s home in Kansas. And Bill brought me the small rose-colored mushroom because he knew I’d like to draw it.

a few quick sketches

near Turner Falls, Oklahoma
Bill, our corgi Butters, and I headed towards Kansas on Friday with our first overnight stop near Turner Falls in Oklahoma. No, we did not actually go see the falls this trip but we want to return some day just to spend some time in this lovely area.
After arriving in Kansas on Saturday, we’ve been busy visiting family in Wichita, El Dorado, and Manhattan — I haven’t done any more sketching since the one above. But there’s always tomorrow . . .

happy birthday, Judah!
Several years ago I had an Etsy shop that is now closed, leaving a few unsold sketches on the shelf. One of our grandsons has a birthday next week and he happens to loves cats. So I tore down the edges and turned this sketch into his birthday card.
Seven years ago we stayed in a bed-and-breakfast where this Turkish Van cat lived. This urn sat on a picnic table and really was his outdoor water dish. A sketch just waiting to happen!

camping, part 2
Next, I sketched the key fob — but I did not have turquoise or buff titanium in my palette. I did add 4 convenience colors to this limited palette; just not the ones needed for the camper charm. So I did some color mixing studies.
Trees sometimes take on very interesting forms during their lifespans. These two sketches captured two of them near our camp site.
