Today I sketched from my porch. Here is the house and tree across the street. I spent a lot of time thinking about leaves in this one. Here are some close-up's. Between the leaves and the bricks,I got a lot of texture in this drawing. Thanks for looking.

My mother and I went for a drive to find a place to sketch. All of a sudden I'm seeing good spots everywhere, but while we were driving, I found myself indecisive, tootling around for a while. It started to get close to sunset, so I pulled over on PCH almost to Huntington Beach, in sight of the pier. Here's my warm-up sketch. Today, I stayed near home, and sketched my neighbor's bus and front step. It got dark, so no paint today. Maybe tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I can find that location again. Thanks for looking!
