A pitcher of a different shape, with curlicue handles.
Recognizable, methinks
Those handles are scary!
Putting the sketch up on the bench makes the angle look different
And while in class there is a feline art muse, at home I have a canine art muse at my side, Dusty.
It’s hard work, being an art muse
After another class session on ellipses (How hard can they be? hahaha), I came home and later sketched this small white pitcher.
I still struggle with sketching handles
I bought this pitcher Sunday afternoon. I thought it would present a challenge for me to sketch and, yes, it did.
Nice shape
All together now

All my time spent on ellipses was in preparation to sketch the starfish. The point of all this was to learn about foreshortening. I’m ready to revisit the tone course in my next class.

Two new shapes: the vase and the pitcher
Hmm, in my sketch it looks as if the vase is leaning a bit. Somehow I couldn’t see that while I was sketchnig or even when I took the photo. I only saw it when I copied the photo to my computer and looked at it on the big screen. Not to worry, I’ll be sketching it again and again and again.

Photography 101: Landmark
The Airing of the Quilts and the Garden Club Tour of Homes is an annual event in Smithville, Texas. I picked up my camera and hit the road for a day trip. I took 297 photos; here are a few presentable ones. Not all my photos turned out; I’m still overexposing some.
Quilts, quilts and more quilts
A good quilt for the Mosaic shop
Old building, old quilts
Cute cottage
Music in the morning
I spent all my time walking around downtown Smithville, taking photos of the quilts and old buildings. I didn’t make it to the Garden Tour of Homes. Maybe next year!
It's a long story ...
