I hope you’ve enjoyed looking over my shoulder during this sketching challenge. You might wonder how I choose what I’ll sketch. During the day I’m on the lookout for interesting subjects-interesting to me and to you. Sometimes sunlight will land on an object and I’m just drawn to it. Sometimes I want to share a view or something like these luscious blueberries with you.
I nibbled on nearby berries as I sketched these, then I ate them!
I’m sure the neighbors were wondering why I was staring up at this power pole.
This bottle of olive oil looked so humble in the light.
This is a bit of a self-portrait. I drive my big yellow studio about 200 miles a day. I often stop and sketch after I’ve dropped off the students.
Our living room and the door to my studio inviting me in…
At Eureka Summit I stopped and sketched this from my big yellow studio. The poles are there to mark the road during snow storms.
On the Glenn Highway, there is a section where the land flattens out and little lakes dot the landscape. I always feel like yodeling here. It’s a bit Narnian, isn’t it?
You captured those scenes perfectly, Suzie! And I love how you think of your school bus as your big yellow studio. Yes! The Artful Life!
“On the Glenn Highway” looks a lot like the highlands of Scotland. Beautifully captured.
Wonderful Suzie š … I like how you ate the blueberries after you painted them !
Gina, my studio has quite a view! Of course, I can’t drive and draw, but I can soak it all in. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you, Lee. That area on the highway does have a very “other world” feel. Maybe it is a Scotland look!
Martha, I will work for food š
I like how the average things become a work of art! You have a good eye to turn something ordinary into something interesting… even a school bus!
