Leaves and Bears

I haven't sketched in my Spanish journal for quite a while. I'm starting to forget some of the words I knew. Here are two new sketches I did this week.

My Car Journal

These sketches are from my new "car journal".  I keep it in the car so that when I'm out running errands I can stop somewhere to do a quick sketch. 

Giant Decorated Pumpkins

These are two of the giant pumpkins sitting outside businesses and shops in downtown Damariscotta. I sketched them after returning home, from photos I took on the trip.

Sketching in Maine - October 2013

Well, as you can see, I didn't keep up with my second 75 day challenge.  I do regret it somewhat, but, well, I just got involved in other things. 

This past week, I spent a few days in Maine with my sisters.  We sketched at various of our favorite spots.  It was cold, but we had fun anyway.  Here are the sketches.

They are, from top to bottom: Pemaquid Lighthouse, viewed from down on the rocks; a boat in the town of Rockland; the waterfront in Camden; some boats in the water at the Colonial Pemaquid Restoration; and two views of beautiful Ocean Point, sketched from the car at one of the "visitor" parking spaces along the loop.

Second Time Around - Day 31

Another sketch of my little jade plant.  I'm falling behind again.  I had planned to take my sketchbook with me to the pool today, but I forgot.  I'm going to need a few "catch-up days".  I did a much better job of sticking to a sketch every day the last time. 

Second Time Around - Day 28*

I took a little hike at the local wildlife center, and did this sketch in "the garden".  No flowers, just lots of ferns.

* This sketch was posted in the correct order, but Blogger must have eaten it, necessitating my posting it again.

Second Time Around - Day 30

Still too embarrassed to sketch people at the pool, so I sketched my own feet before I swam my laps this time.
