Watercolors by Celia Blanco

17. Something used for measuring. Took me a while, did it without a ruler! LOL 18. Lipstick/lip gloss . Something I never use and should throw away. Day 19. A Cupcake.   Day 20. Your Wallet  My always empty wallet. Day 21. The Spot You Regularly Sit to Read. My little corner of the house where I find peace and quiet. Love to read before falling asleep. If a book manages to keep me awake, it's got to be good! Any  suggestions for summer reading welcome. 22. Something That Hangs From a Wall in Your Home This is my utensils' rack, it hangs above my cooking range. Thank you for your support! Wish me luck, I am off to find an interesting detail of a building...     Have a wonderful weekend!

Days are busy, my girls are home, out of school, there is much activity at home. I love the longer days summer brings even if I feel like I have a difficult time getting into the mindset for painting. Working in my sketchbook is offering me with a great alternative. I feel like it is an easy thing to grab my sketchbook and set up my supplies. I don't have a formal work space at home, this way I am not in anyone's way. I have also organized a dedicated art supply pouch just for my sketchbook. Like this I will always have everything I need at hand.  I love the immediacy and free feeling of working in a sketchbook. If a painting doesn't work or if I don't manage to finish it, I just turn the page. Enjoy your long summer days! Who's eating the last cupcake? Green tea brewing Sandwhich  on fancy plate
