As I was mucking donkey poo in the north pasture yesterday, I checked on the progress of a recent wildflower find growing there. When I first saw it, I wondered how a squash came to be planted in the middle of the enclosure. Not being sure of what it was, I waited and watched, hoping the goats would not eat it.
Near as I can tell in my Texas wildflower field guides, I think this is a buffalo gourd. Still waiting to see if gourds actually form.
Bill brought me the first ripe grape tomato from his garden — I quickly sketched it with my pen and ate it before adding color. (If you look closely, you’ll see a pencil reminder to smudge the lightly-penciled-in white highlights that I forgot to erase!)
I'm always delighted to see your as-life-happens sketches.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl -- that's so encouraging!
DeleteI keep thinking I should do "this" or "that" that other online artists are doing in their own sketchbooks, but I suppose sketching bits of my own daily life is what I do.
It’s the same with me Vicky. Good thing we know better.
DeleteOh, yes! And your daily life sketches are so precious...
ReplyDeleteIt was them, who fascinated me so, that I became interested in sketching and journaling! Thanks for their sharing with us, Vicky :-)
My daily sketches are mostly "just for fun" or to capture memories -- but if they also inspire others, I'm very glad!
