Perspective Practice and Blind Contour Friday

I'm just back from the gym where I did two half hour sessions on the treadmill separated by 15 minutes of hills on the stationary bike and about 30 hanging leg lifts. I'm not sure I am going to return home any thinner than when I left, but I am surely going to be more fit.

I am now eating my daily bowl of Shredded Wheat & Bran with soy milk and blueberries and kiwi. The hubster eats cereal with blueberries and bananas nearly every morning because he should - he doesn't really care for it. I love it!

Before I went to the gym today I did a quick sketch and a blind contour of my special bear. Here is this week's rendering:

Yesterday evening I was looking at random city scenes using MapCrunch and found a street scene to practice perspective on. It is not very good, but I am going to keep practicing until I get to be better at it.

While I don't think I showed it very well, the closest building on the left is facing the viewer. The rest are away from you down a city street. I didn't try to draw the cars.

Yesterday we were pretty lazy in that we only walked the beach twice and walked a short distance at the Live Oaks park in Gulf Breeze. The rest of the day was spent visiting with my sister playing Yahtzee and working crossword puzzles. Today is quite a bit warmer than it has been and it is already too warm for me to be out in the sun. We are planning to try the gyros at a little cafe down the road and just have to decide whether we want to walk or drive. Right now I am thinking I want to walk maybe some time around 2 pm.

I don't think we'll be going on any day trips until the long weekend is over. There are considerably more people and traffic here on weekends and it spoils the laziness of our day trips. I will, however,  try to get out and get some more pictures to share.

I hope all is well with you and that I will see you tomorrow.
