Feburary 4 Sketches

While we were in Atlanta Ga a couple years ago we ate at Mary Macs. Oh Yum!
It was so good. We had friend chicken and biscuits. Can't remember what else, just remember how good it was, and what a cute place it is. I recommend it if you are in Atlanta!
The other sketch is a sign I saw while we were there. I love old signs.

Feburary 2 sketches

I got two sketches done tonight.  An old Church and a garage in Andrews, TX
I used a paint marker for the church, and tobacco ink for the garage.  Anytime my subject is in browns, i use that ink.

New Sketches

Some new sketches..just whatever I can find to draw. The old restaurant is done with ink and tombow marker.  The Cow were in Midland, TX.  I was getting new glasses and saw the cool sign ...
the barn and sign were somewhere near Fredericksburg.

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

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!
