Renfro Street-Brownfield TX

Another sketch to go with the gas attendant!  This is on Renfro Street in Brownfield, TX, and the family that lived here was named 'Renfro'.  They owned a gas station and another shop on Main Street.  So many memories in these old photos. I love these old houses and hate to see them disappear!  Thanks to Glenda for sharing them with me.  There is one more Sketch to come...
soon!

Fun Sketch

This is a sketch for a friend. It is her Dad. She wanted her home, car and Dad sketched, so this is the first one. I used a tombow marker.  He definitely brought back memories for me.  I remember the Gas station attendants who came to your car, washed the windshield, checked tires, etc.  Whatever happened to those days! They always opened the hood and checked under there too! 

A new Year-2017

After sketching every day in December I sort of took a break! I have not done much since then, so here is a Panda Bear that was at the Atlanta Zoo. Such a cutie, just lying there watching people snoozing off and on.

Days of December Collage

I just finished 31 days of December.  It was a lot of fun.  I used a 5x5 hand book sketchbook. One of my favorites. I had a list on World of Watercolor on Face Book.  I used ink, watercolor, gouache and even some Casein.  Gold ink as well as black.
It was fun.  There are a few that I didn't get done. It is hard to get one done each day.  I sketch at night, so sometimes it would be 11:00 before I was finishing.

The lastl Three!

Day 29-31
Icicles, Slippers and Happy New Year!

Day 27-28

We are nearing the end of the 30 days of Christmas! It has been fun.
I did skip out on a couple of days.
Day 27 was draw a scarf and 28 was mittens.
My husband mentioned the three little kittens that lost their mittens, so I added our 3 cats.
They are brothers and so cute.  I named them Tom Dick and Harry!

Days 24-26

Since this is the holidays, i can't keep up! here is day 24-26
draw cookies and milk
a Gift, and Ice Skates

Day 23

Well i skipped day 22 because it was a reindeer!  Day 23 was fun though.  Draw a toy.  Our kids had a jack in the box and it was our favorite toy!

Day 19-21

I am behind again! it is so hard to post each day.

Day 19 was ornament
Day 20 was wrapping paper
Day 21 was snow globe.
I really had fun drawing the ornament and the snow globe.  I think these two are my favorites now!

Days 17 and 18-December Challenge

This challenge has been fun because I love to draw Christmas stuff!  I love painting funny snow people.    Day 17 is the cowboy.   I love stick horses so I had to add that!
Day 18 is Candy.  When we were kids ribbon candy was the candy my mother would buy, and we loved it! Maybe it was all the color that I liked!

Day 15 and 16

I find it is easier not to post every single day! so here is day 15 and 16

Day 15 was Draw a tree.  I saw this tree yesterday at the Farmers Co Op station.  So i call this a Farmers Tree!

Day 17 was to draw some Holly, so I just drew a Grandma's Apron!

Catching up

Well I missed day 10 and 12 so here is Day 11 and 13.
Day 10 was supposed to be a sweater
Day 11 was the Poinsettia
Day 12 was a Cake
and Day 13 Lights.
On the Poinsettia I put down reds and yellows along with splatters.
Then after dried I drew the flower with ink and painted with watercolor.
For Day 13 i wanted my lights to be different, so I added the cotton and called it the color of cotton. I miss farming. We grew cotton for 40 years, and I love seeing the harvest.
