But seeing as how I like to be different, this isn’t your typical ‘leave a comment and potentially win a prize’ type giveaway. That’s too easy. I’m going to require that

The Flight Today I arrived in Las Vegas for the Mix 08 conference. After our airplane had taxied out to the tarmac for takeoff, the pilot informed us that since we were going to Las Vegas, our lucky number for the week would be 34. That was the number of planes in front of us on the tarmac waiting to take off. So we got to wait for an hour while all the traffic ahead of us took off. Ready, set, wait. The Hotel Got to the airport and to the Venetian Hotel just fine. Checked in, and the room was just as nice as last year, but they have upgraded it a bit. Everything looked shiny and new, and the CRT televisions were replaced with LCD TVs - three of them. One in the Sitting Room, one in the bedroom, and one in the bathroom (because you have to have a TV in the bathroom). Tested the wireless
We will have thematic games in this whole Halloween week. We will have two games today to compensate for yesterday. In this treasure hunt, you must guide Garfield through two haunted mansions in order to secure much apreciated sweets. Be careful not to get too scared as you might loose the game. Play the first one here and the sequel here.Estimated procrastination time: 15 minutes cada
Nesta semana do dia das bruxas (ou dia do saci) teremos jogos temáticos! Hoje temos dois, para compensar ontem. Nesta caça ao tesouro, você tem que guiar o Garfield por duas mansões em buscas de guloseimas, mas não tome muito sustos pois você pode perder o jogo. Jogue o primeiro aqui e a continuação aqui. Melhor do que ficar procurando como fazer a sua fantasia do dia das bruxas.Tempo de procrastinação: 15 minutos cada

This week's theme is Colorful.
Back before I practically shaved my head, I used to keep it braided. It was much easier. When my hair was shoulder length it took me an hour to blow dry, and even then it wasn't all the way dry. So I just kept it braided. And I'd change the color every couple of weeks. I've had it red, blue, green, purple...I think I even have some yellow hair, but I don't
1) Find 2 blogs that are participating in the hunt that have something in common. This could technically have hundreds of answers and you can be as creative as you want. Make sure you post on both of them. Tell us what you found and what they have in common.I picked #'s 22 and 23 on the list. :) Firstly, they are right next to each other on the list, so that makes for something in common right there (lol), plus they are both participating in the scavenger hunt.;) They are both Momma's. They both visit 5minutesformom, and they are both a little crispy! :)2) State a fact about me, Amy. There are many on this blog. No duplicate answers can be allowed. This should be pretty easy!Amy is a nurse. :)
1) Look at the list of participants in the hunt. Choose one that you do not read. Find something interesting about them and leave a comment. Let us know who you chose and what you found interesting. You don't need to leave the blog address, just the name listed and the number they are on the list.I picked Jessica, #85! :) Her Bon Jovi pic drew me right in. I'm a NJ girl. I grew up there. So that got me curious. My cousin, Danielle is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan, so reading her post made me think of Damielle, and how I need to email her back! LOL2)Find another participant that you have not read that participates in a daily meme. This is something like Monday Memories, Ten on Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen, Fridays Feast or Saturdays Scavenger Hunt. Find one that you find the most creative and tell us why.http://goofygirl.org/ First, i love her blog name, and the cows! LOL! She seems very fun, and goofy. I liked the pics and her memes were interesting to read!3)There are a lot

Tomorrow I hope we can share some sunshine!.My friend Evie is battling cancer, for the second time in her life. She just lost her hair. Her and her husband shaved the last bit of it off this week. She could really use some encouragement! ttp://www.xanga.com/evief
1) Find a blog that has a YouTube video that makes you laugh! Post the link here!Ok, really now, is there anything funnier than goofy cats? I think Not!

**Update** I just found out that TNChick is having some health issues. Stop by and wish her well!
YAY! I beat them both. :-) Insomnia is good for something, LOL.
We rarely get snow in my little corner of the world. If it does snow, it's at 2 AM. It's not enough to accumulate. And it melts before
I’m hosting the current Scavenger Hunt on the Wetcanvas website. Pick up your pens and pencils and come join the fun on this thread. There are 26 items listed to draw from life—no photo references permitted. You can post your results to that thread, or if you post them to a blog, feel free to leave a comment on this post with your link! I’ll be posting my sketches here as the week goes on.
For reference, here is the list:
A jar of a liquid used in your studio
An interior scene that includes a plant or flowers
A coat, sweater or shirt hung/draped over a chair back
Your mug of morning brew, whatever that may be
A cold drink
Favorite kitchen appliance
The chair or sofa you hang out on the most
A pet
Fish or aquarium (fish for dinner can count )
Statue or sculpture
View from a window
Window curtain/drape/valance
Wooden box
Easel (any type)

Stove top
Tree

Object
Every 9 days, a new Scavenger Hunt begins in the Artwork from Life forum on the Wetcavas website. Members sign up to host, and from January 20-28, it's my turn to play host and select the list items for the hunt. For those of you who would like to play along, the basic rules are:
All items on the list must be sketched from life--not imagination nor photo references
Each object you draw can count for only one item on the list, no matter how many shapes/parts/colors that object contains. This was agreed to by unanimous vote among the participants
You may place multiple objects together in a painting, and may count those objects as separate list items, but no single object can count for more than one list item.
All items posted must be numbered. Count them as you go. The first item you sketch and post will be #1 regardless of its place on the list. Do them in whatever order you wish, but count them in the order in which you sketch them, from 1 to 26.
You can do as many or as

Scavenger Hunt 22 (See my Dec. 20 post) contained a list of 26 items. These are the five I had left. I arranged them in a still life to finish up the hunt. They are sketched with a Uniball Vision pen and watercolors. The items are:22. Something cold: ice cube23. Puddle: The melted water from the ice cube24. Coaster: What the ice cube is resting on25. Cutlery: My favorite Henkle knife26. Something you dislike: Dead flowers!
I'm glad that I managed to finish up all 26 items in spite of a heavy holiday schedule here. It's been a lot of fun to have this sketching break from the usual finished painting routine. With 14 coming for lunch tomorrow, it's likely that I won't be able to get any painting done until at least Thursday, but I hope to get back to the oils soon!
These are all Prismacolor pencil in my 7x10" Canson Montval cold press watercolor book. Click on the image to enlarge it.
These are items 19-21 of the 26-item scavenger hunt, so I've only five left to do by Wednesday to complete the hunt. (See my December 20 posting for more about the Scavenger Hunts.) Hopefully I'll be able to do at least a couple of paintings after that and before the New Year. The most challenging item by far in the hunt this week is to draw/paint a piece of crumpled foil. I put that one off about as long as possible, and you can see why; mine doesn't at all resemble crumpled foil. Actually, I crumpled it into the vague shape of a swan in the hope that if it didn't make it as crumpled foil, it could be loosely identified as a swan. Very loosely. Imaginatively. *smile* I'm giving up on that one for now, though I might throw in some gouache highlights and try to salvage it later. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other scavenger hunt participants do wit

The Wetcanvas art website has a Scavenger Hunt that starts every 8 days. Since my time is so interrupted now with holiday goings-on, I figured I'd jump in there and do as much sketching as I can when I don't have a long block of time for oil painting. You can find the rules and the current list here:
