Late to the Party

Back about a week and a half ago I started a sketch of some snowmen with the Patchogue Sketch Club. There were 4 snowmen in the set but I only had time to do 3 of them. I thought about finishing the last one at the library this week but I couldn't find the sketchbook the original sketch was in. I looked several times and finally gave up. Today I was rearranging my overflowing sketchbooks in the closet and guess what popped up. So I got out the figurine and sketched it before I lost it again. #4 is late but he has finally arrived at the party.

I am hosting Scavenger Hunt #611 over at Wet Canvas in the "Artwork from Life" forum. For those of you who don't know about the hunts,  each 9 days someone different posts a "scavenger hunt list" of 26 items for people to sketch. You can sketch 1 or all 26 in any medium(s) you want and we post them in the forum. For my hunt there are several thing that need to be foods. I like the way these quick sketches came out so I'm posting them here.
The avocado is "something I like to eat."

The pizza slice is "you eat it cooked" although it would also qualify for something I like to eat. lol

Somebody's Missing

Last evening the Patchogue Sketch Club met at the library. Our theme was "Winter" but most of us brought in objects that fit Christmas. We are doing an exhibit for the month of December in the showcase in the front of the library. I brought along a basket that had some figurines inside that spelled out S-N-O-W. I did the first three but didn't get around to do the fourth snowman with the letter W. Hopefully I will have time soon to get that one sketched, and when I do I will post the finished sketch.

On Tuesday we had a reception for the project we did back in May called "Close Up on Patchogue." You may remember this was the project where we divided up a larger image into 1 foot square canvases that we painted and then put it back together. One of the trustees of the village bought the cooperative work in his wife's memory. She passed away this year and had been a big force in the Patchogue arts scene. He had it permanently hung in the Patchogue Village Hall. Here are a few photos from the other night.
