Scavenger Hunt #260 - 10 - 18 March

[Jo Castillo]

Hi, All y'all! Gene discovered the other day that y'all is singular and all y'all is plural. Ha. Anyway, the grandkids are gone and now we go to Oklahoma to UT Baseball against Oklahoma Sooners and visit a blogging buddy.

And, look who's back. Cairo, welcome, so lovely to see your work!!!

I can't comment to all, but wanted to have one sketch at least. I sketched on the iPad with "Spray Paint" I took a photo of the table and then sketched with my finger the pepper mill. Lots of fun. I have sooo many new red things in the kitchen.

Number 1, Red


I agree on your sundae, I had a Dairy Queen Blizzard today so that was my lunch. Good though. I have to break down every couple of months or so and get a Dairy Queen.

Will comment another time. Love all the work and will see you on the next Hunt. We should be back on Monday night.

I posted but had to come back and say how neat all the jewelry was, Bonnie!!

The TV show is over that I wanted to watch and I've come back to comment.

Vivien - adorable soft toys - nicely painted - great memories to have (I'll have to try to gather up some of the ones from my son and grandson and paint them)

M50paul - brass lamp with shade my favorite - very nicely rendered - the shells remind me of my favorite place for vacation - the beach - liked all

meisie - what a cute blue "Eye Bod" - made me laugh to look at it - I'm glad you showed us what it is used for as I have never seen anything like it before.

"J" - what a sweet collection have have created - really nice

JoanT - Well you have transported me to a beach where I would like to be - all are beautiful

Eye - thank you for sharing the photos of the young artists - you and your friend have given these children a wonderful gift - something they will never forget - you never know what you have started - we hope you have inspired them to keep art in their lives as a way of expressing themselves

Jacquip - lovely paintings - interesting candle holder

Eyepaint - nice impressionistic paintings

Kivrin65 - Deepest Sympathies on the passing of your Father - I like to share the following poem as it meant a lot to me when my own Father passed over 10 years ago:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning's gentle hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I am with you always

The second page was done in my A5 sketchbook while waiting at the bus stop to come home from school. I felt very nervous sketching in public even if the only people around were ones walking past.

[m50paul]

Kivrin: Nice sketches.... hope you and your sister are doing better...

Well I am off to one of my favorite places this morning, the Casino, the Mohegan Sun for some poker and then dinner with my better half...

Bonnie- So sorry your Dad passed away, too. I think my sister and I have grown closer. I do treasure the memories. Love the Caran D'ache water soluble crayons. They are very vibrant. When you add water, they become even more bold.
