I’ve not kept up with adding color and scanning – here’s a few miscellaneous ones:
These lovely coneflowers were captured in a photo by Eric Lopez. Thanks for the inspiration Eric!
Saw this donkey at our annual Spiedie and Hot Air Balloon fest at Otsiningo Park. Too cute!
I grew these onions myself – and did not realize they just plop up out of the ground when they are ready!?!? Thank you, onions!
On one of THE most perfect weather days of the year (so far!) I spent an hour at the farmer’s market. It was a great day for gorgeous produce! I did four sketches, and bought zucchini and some yummy rhubarb cake!

After seeing the big tortoise at the zoo, I came home and while walking at lunch, saw this rather large pet out for a walk in his yard. Can you guess his name? Snappy! I don’t know how, but he looked friendly! Maybe it was because his owner was laughing that I wanted to take his picture to sketch him. The little guy I saw Friday at Otsiningo Park. Now he did not look very friendly. He looked like a ‘snappy’ to me!
I *really* wanted to walk today, and the weather station said it wouldn’t rain until 1pm. Well, I needed to clean the kitchen, and by the time I finished, it had started to sprinkle. Stubborn me, I thought, I’ll just bring my umbrella, no big deal. But…the rain started coming down more and more. I finished my walk, came home and got into dry clothes, and decided to journal the day. You see, even though I got soaked, I was lucky to see a duck not often seen around here. A common merganser, I think, although I’m no expert. For me, it was worth getting wet! So how was your Sunday?
An organic vegetable table at Otsiningo Park. Pretty as a picture, I thought! Wasn’t sure if I wanted to color the baskets, eh, maybe later.
Another gorgeous day yesterday! Went for a walk after work, and the geese were grazing. or whatever it is geese do. So out came the sketchbook, but I wanted to walk, so I added color after I got home.
A goal for 2011 is to sketch more, so I’m off to a good start!
