Great Blue Hunting

Ten-Minute Tuesday - Purple Ballpoint!
When I pulled into work today, there stood 'Blue' in the water about 25 feet in front of me. Into my purse I went for my trusty 3"x5" Stillman and Birn softcover Alpha Journal. Then I realized my small zippered pouch that carries my art pens, waterbrush and an Art Toolkit palette was at home. Oh dear, what kind of writing instrument do I have in my car? It was a toss up between a black Sharpie and a purple Bic ballpoint pen. What can I say... I love purple : )
By the time I finished my hunt for supplies, Blue was still holding its pose. I so love Great Blue Herons for this quality. What a great way to start a work day!

November Creations 2 - Bluffton SketchCrawl
In November, we ventured out to the Old Town area of Bluffton. We didn't do the traditional meetup prior to finding our places to sketch, nor did we meetup after to take a group photo. I did see a couple of sketchers from a distanced. It warmed my heart.
I chose to sketch in ink with my Platinum Carbon fountain pen. I love the line it makes. Brave of me to try architecture directly with ink. The building turned out a wee bit wonky. This is my Stillman and Birn Zeta Journal. The subject: Church of the Cross - a Bluffton landmark that sits on a bluff overlooking the May River. A must see if you are visiting the area.

10-Minute Tuesday
All week I've been watching the hummingbird wars at the feeder. In past years, I've only seen a lone female at the feeder. This year there seem to be two couples. One male has staked out his territory and prevents others from feeding. I'm going to have to put another feeder some distance away so he can't be a two places at once!
This sketch finishes off a journal page that began with a visit from the armadillo...
After dinner last evening, I noticed a bunny under the bird feeder.
Had to use my binoculars at bit while sketching.
Will give it some color another day.

10-Minute Tuesday... Make that 15!
I set the timer for 5 minutes to get the drawing done.
I used the small end of a Zig Dual Tip Brush Pen.
Meanwhile, I'm in the very hot sun and it's 12:30 pm and I've no sunscreen on.
Ohhhh, but just a wee bit more!
