Today I get to tell you who is the winner in the drawing for the gift cards. I’ll tell you at the end of this post.
I promised more sketches from my sketchbook of our time in Arizona. We had such a grand time there. So warm and sunny. Here you go!
Inside this building is the wonderful smell of leather, horse sweat and dust.
Lovely views on the drive up Box Canyon Road…
I took two sketchbooks with me to Arizona. One is a sweet little 5″ x 5″ hardbound one made by Hand Book. I like it because it is small and there is the option of painting on one page in a square format or horizontal in 5″ x 10″. This is two pages. I might fill in the blank space with something like a harness or a bit…who knows?
Little sketches from the ranch in the “Hand Book”.
Crimson Bottle Brush bloom. I really like to paint across the page.
And the winner of the box of gift cards is…..Peggy Saunders! I love random.com ! Peggy, you may email me at suziepaints at Yahoo dot com and send me your address and I’ll pop them right in the mail.
Next post will be more Arizona sketches. I’m remembering the sunshine during these cold, dark Alaska winter days.
Creating in Alaska 
Love these! I can feel that warm desert air and soft warm sand through these pictures 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Olena! I’m so glad you stopped by. Sun and warm are so welcome these days, aren’t they?
Love the sketches. Great way to remember even the smells. Love the bottle brush sketch too. We had those in So CAL .. where we moved from many years ago.Looks real. Brings back memories.
Thank you, Cris! I do love the smells of places. The bottle brush was fun to draw with all those red pins of color. Thanks for stopping by!
LOL! Well That is neat! Thank you Suzie! I am grateful for having won some artwork by you, my
e-mail friend! I am looking forward to getting your package.
Peggy, it caused me to chuckle when your name came up as the winner 🙂
We had a laugh together then- cuz I laughed too when I read my name. 🙂
